About this game
Players buy/sell/trade antiques with each other in the form of cards that include both photos of actual items and a face value for each. Other cards in the playing deck may be paired with an antique item to modify the value (Rare Item, Fake Item, Damaged Item). Antique items belong to one of six categories (e.g., Furniture, Fine Art, and even Games), and owning multiple cards in a category can increase the value. Open-ended gameplay to achieve highest net worth.
