Magic Auction: Kiew Kiew

One vault. Everything inside is a different size, and all of it is sealed. Four bidders at the same table. Five sealed rounds. Only the winner takes anything home - the other three leave with nothing. The hard part is not the money. The hard part is that you cannot see what you are bidding on. EVERY ROUND SHOWS A LITTLE MORE Crates sit on an 8x6 board in footprints from 1x1 to 3x3. At the start you cannot even see their shapes. Each round opens something - sometimes a grade, sometimes a category, sometimes only a size. Knowing the vault is full of Mythics tells you nothing if they are all 1x1. WIN EARLY, PAY MORE Beat the second-highest bid by the round's multiplier and the hammer falls immediately: Round 1 - 2.0x Round 2 - 1.5x Round 3 - 1.3x Round 4 - 1.1x Round 5 - highest bid wins Ending it gets cheaper every round. So does your information advantage. OVERPAY AND THEY ALL EAT Pay more than the vault is really worth and the surplus is split evenly between the three players you just beat. Losing to a reckless bidder is a payday. Winning at a stupid price buys everyone a round. FOUR COMMANDERS, FOUR WAYS OF LOOKING Bunda Susi - reads the grade of what nobody else is looking at. Bejo Ganteng - barges in and measures the biggest thing in the vault. Budi Perkasa - takes stock: the cheap shelves first, their sizes later. Icha Aja - picks one crate and tells you exactly what it is. No commander sees everything. What you know, your rivals may not - and the other way round. THE GOODS ARE FROM THE MARKET DOWN THE ROAD Machetes, saucepans, sarongs, flip-flops, meatball soup, satay, prawn crackers, iced tea, marbles, kites, carnival effigies, shadow puppets.
