They bid on various items which they can either keep or sell in hopes of making a profit. Items are represented by cards. The player who wins the auction gets the item for the price bid. That player can then sell items which were already in their hand by rolling a die to determine if the item is sold to a collector, gallery, dealer or if it goes to a warehouse. Players can also buy items from these locations.
All items are part of a set.
If a player has the entire set, it is worth more more than just having the individual items. This can be a quick fun game.
