Sold! The Antique Dealer Game (1997)

About this game

Players buy/sell/trade antiques with each other in the form of cards that include both photos of actual items and a face value for each. Other cards in the playing deck may be paired with an antique item to modify the value (Rare Item, Fake Item, Damaged Item). Antique items belong to one of six categories (e.g., Furniture, Fine Art, and even Games), and owning multiple cards in a category can increase the value. Open-ended gameplay to achieve highest net worth.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
