How to play

Every match seats four players around one covered board of meme treasures, 12 tiles wide and 10 tall. Over up to five rounds, everyone bids in secret. The top bid takes everything under the cover.

Rooms

There are four rooms: Low, Middle, High and Very High. Each room has an entry fee, paid when your match starts; the game shows each room's fee. The entry fee is not refunded, except when the server cancels a match. Staking $MAT lets you enter the Middle, High and Very High rooms.

Pick a hero

Each hero has one skill that shows you something the others cannot see. Choose before the match starts.

Each round: clues, then a sealed bid

Each match has up to 5 rounds, and every round brings clues in Auction intel. Some are public: all four players see them. Some are yours alone, from your hero's skill and your equipment.

Then everyone bids in secret. You place one sealed bid, in whole dollars, and it is final. Bids do not carry over to the next round. When the round ends, all four bids are shown.

Who wins

In rounds 1 to 4, the highest bid wins only if it is more than the next-highest bid times the round's multiplier. If it is not, the cover stays on and the next round begins. In round 5 the highest bid wins; of two equal bids, the earlier one wins.

If your bid wins, you win the board, take every item on it and pay that bid. Only the winner pays their bid. If no bid has won by the end of round 5, nobody pays and every bid is released.

Consolation Reward

When the winning bid is higher than the board's value, part of the difference may be paid as a Consolation Reward, one equal share for each of the other three seats. The game shows when it is paid and your share.

Equipment

Equipment gives you extra clues in a match. You buy it with $MAT, in the shop or on the market. Shop purchases are final, equipment bought with $MAT cannot be sold back to us, and equipment used in a match the server cancels is not returned.

Treasures and their grades

Every treasure on a board has one of six grades. The rarer the grade, the more it is worth:

The rarest come sealed: each sealed card hides one figurine of its grade. Win the board to find out which.

After the match

• Items you win are records in the game. They are not tokens or NFTs and cannot be moved out of the game.
• Keep them, or sell treasures back to the house for USDT, at the value and minus the fee the game shows.
• Put figurines in your 8 display cases: each one earns $MAT every day, and the rarer the grade, the more it earns.
• Trade figurines and equipment with other players on the market, priced in $MAT, for the fee the game shows.

If you disconnect

Your match goes on: a bid you already placed in the current round still counts, rounds you miss count as no bid, and the entry fee is not refunded.

The demo

The demo runs on demo money. Demo balances, $MAT and items have no value: they cannot be withdrawn, or sold or exchanged for real money or real tokens.
