Gameplay

The players in the game represent the members of the pretentious Antique Club. Their goal in life is to have a better collection of old stuff than every other member in the club. There are two options every turn: 1) to the Auction House to bid on an antique, or 2) to a manor house to participate in a competitive exhibit. The outcome of the players' actions depends on the choices and card play of the other players in the same location. The game therefore includes a considerable bluffing component.

The winner is the player to move the farthest on the board, or whoever finishes the fastest.

gollark: The BPLv1 worries me. My soul is already owned by certain GTech™ complex roots of unity.
gollark: Otherwise it would be indistinguishable from them not existing.
gollark: Well, if "souls" meaningfully existed in some way, you'd be able to interact with them.
gollark: Secondly, that wouldn't do anything.
