    This tile auction game turns every smart move into something your friends want to ruin
    pre-order now on kickstarter
    Reiner Knizia's Medici Traders Tile Auction Game brings classic Medici style auctions to a new tile and tray system. Each round you fill your tray with 1 to 3 goods tiles, slide it to the center of the table, then claim the tray that best fits your plan from the center or even from another player. You can add florins to your tray to make others think twice before taking it. Goods move onto your ship over three days, where you score both for strong daily loads and for having the most of each type overall, with rats breaking ties. Production refinements improve readability and component clarity, and pledging during the campaign adds free bonus tiles. Back Reiner Knizia's Medici Traders Tile Auction Game on Kickstarter now.
