Bids (2018)

About this game

Bids is a card game for 3 - 6 players. Each player receives ten coloured bid cards in his hand. Players will be bidding in ten turns for the black point cards in the middle. Each point card is worth the same number of points as the number that is written on it. The player with the most points wins. The colours of the bid cards only matter in Colour Bids but do not matter in the normal version. To make the game more attractive, some special cards are added and one player will have a black card in his hand which can increase the value of one of the ten turns. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
