Down at the shipyard, goods are unloaded off the boats and auctioned off to the highest bidder. Companies vie for the most amount of goods for the least amount of money. Timing is essential. Should you wait till the value goes down or buy the goods before your competitor does. It’s a cutthroat business and whoever has the most amount of goods wins the game.[/b]

Shipyard Auction is a auction game using a traditional deck of cards. The front side of the cards represents the valued amount of the goods. The back of the cards represents coins used to purchase the goods. Players will purchase goods on the auction block.

Players will take turns buying goods that are being auctioned off. As items are sold, goods move down the line and go down in value. The shrewd purchasing agent will buy as low as possible. When the last card is drawn, the game will come to a close. Players will count their goods by their value and the one with the most valued goods in their possession wins the game.
