Description

"Bid-It! is the bidding game where your hand doesn t really matter, as long as you know how to bid it! The object of Bid-It! is to bid how many of a given number appear on the cards held by all players together. For instance, a bid of four 5 s means the bidder believes that there are at least four fives being held by all players as a group. The next player must either make a higher bid or challenge the previous bid. Once a bid is challenged, the cards are revealed. If the bid was too high, the bidder loses a card. If not, the challenger loses a card. Players try to figure out each other s hands by their bids, but remember, bluffing is not only legal, it s sometimes quite effective (unless you get challenged!) If you re very sure that your opponent s bid was too high, why not bid double and put the loss of 2 cards on the line? Of course, the bidder may turn the tables on you and redouble . Or if you think that your opponent s bid was exactly right, take a chance and bid Perfecto! Includes 110 cards and instructions in a colorful metal tin. Inspired by Perudo
