The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up For Sale, shuffle the property cards and the currency cards into two separate decks. Depending on the number of players, remove a specific number of cards from both decks without looking at them. For three or four players, each person starts with 18,000 in coins; for five to six players, each person receives 14,000 in coins. All remaining currency and property cards are placed in the center to form draws piles for the game's two main phases.
Objective
The main objective of For Sale is to accumulate the most money by purchasing various real estate properties and then strategically flipping them to buyers for the highest possible currency payouts.
On your turn
The game consists of two phases: buying and selling. In the buying phase, a number of properties equal to the player count are laid out. Players take turns bidding higher amounts of currency or passing. Passing means you forfeit the current round, pay half your last bid rounded up, and claim the lowest available property. In the selling phase, currency cards are revealed equal to the player count, and everyone simultaneously plays a property card face-down. The highest property card claims the highest currency card, and so on.
Scoring
Scoring happens at the end of the second phase. Every player tallies the total value printed on all their collected currency cards, plus any unused coins they managed to hold onto from the initial buying phase.
Game end
The game officially ends once all property cards have been auctioned off and all currency cards have been distributed across the rounds of the selling phase.
Tips
Carefully manage your starting coins during the first phase. Saving even a few coins can make a huge difference, as leftover coins act as the ultimate tiebreaker if players end up with the same total money.
