The warehouse auction is going on blindly. There are two or three things in plain sight, the rest is closed: we only know about each box whether it is heavy and how it sounds if you knock on it. From this we have to calculate how much the lot is worth.

About this game

There are three people bidding against you, and each has his own weaknesses. Zinaida warms up and overpays, Mikhalych fights for tools, Arkady leaves early. It's easy to win trades — it's hard to win them cheaply. The winner takes the whole lot, opens it and disassembles it. Something goes to the buyer with a profit, something turns out to be junk that you have already paid for. A flashlight, an appraiser, and a second opinion narrow down the unknown, but they cost money: information doesn't pay off on a cheap lot, and it pays off with a margin on an expensive one. The more items of the same category are sold, the more accurately you read the hints: a closed box ceases to be just heavy and becomes "like dishes." The earnings are invested in the business — the warehouse, the speed of delivery of lots, the discount on tools.

How to play

Tap an item or box on the set to view it: a name or a hint about weight and sound will appear under the stage. You can tap on the box and it will respond in the same way as the prompt sounds. The feed shows you the range of the lot's value: the wider it is, the more you don't know. A lantern, an appraiser, and a second opinion narrow her down for the money. There are three numbers under the stage: the current bid, the valuation of the lot and the profit that will remain at this price. The third one melts with each bet — it shows where it's time to stop. "Bargain" opens the bidding. The bets go in a circle: on your turn, click "Outbid" to give the current price, the plus buttons to raise it immediately higher, and "Pass" to leave. The one who left is eliminated for good, the winner pays the last price. On the right, you can see who else is haggling and at what price everyone has given up. The won lot goes to the warehouse. "Open" takes it apart into things, "Sell" gives the thing to the buyer. The "Business" tab shows investments in the warehouse, the speed of delivery of lots and a discount on tools.
