About this product
Every oddity has a price. But is it genuine?
Bid, investigate, trade and build the most valuable collection.
A 2–6 player auction card game where collectors bid on strange objects, uncover their authenticity and trade their way towards the most valuable collection.
Product Description
Welcome to Odd Shop, the auction house for all things unusual.
You are a collector looking to assemble the most valuable collection you can. Bid your Credits on mysterious objects, consult the in-house Experts for a little extra information, and decide how much you are willing to risk — because not every item is authentic.
Items may turn out to be Authentic, Replica or Unknown, and the collection does not stop when the auction ends. Players can trade, negotiate, buy and sell items between one another as they build their collections.
Items fall into four categories — Potions, Familiars, Gear and Magic Items — with opportunities to increase the value of your collection by gathering items from the same category. Gear adds another twist, with complete sets worth double their total value.
The player with the most valuable collection at the end wins.
