About This Game

Buy it and it's cursed. Don't, and you're collected.

You sit at a candlelit table in a locked basement auction house. Across from you: a braggart, a coward and a miser, each ready to pay anything for the right relic. On the block: crowns that tighten, dolls that blink, bells that toll for whoever owns them.

The Auction

Raise your paddle, hold, or fold. When the auctioneer calls "Once... twice...", anyone can snipe before the hammer falls.

Appraise with wax rubbings: a maker's seal tells a cheap replica from a true relic, and the real value only shows after the sale. The surface wear sometimes lies.

Read your rivals. Every bidder has a limit, and their posture gives it away as the price climbs. Dealt tools twist every lot: peek at a rival's limit, shackle their paddle, or turn a curse back on the runner-up with a black mirror.

The Curse

Every relic you win comes with its curse. Stop the bead in the gold notch, follow the doll's gaze, strike the bell only on its safe pulse. Fail, and a candle goes out. Lose your last candle and you leave the table the way your rivals do.

The Collector

A night nobody died for is paid for by its poorest guest. The Collector drags them off, chair and all. So even when you are afraid, you have to buy.

Night After Night

Survive as the richest and carry everything into the next night, where the stakes and the curses grow heavier. From the second night on, every night has a house rule: a blind auction with no estimates, a night of blood, a night of forgeries.
