GOBLIN MARKET REFERENCE
F TURN ORDER f
A A card is revealed from the Auction Deck to deter-
mine the size of the auction:
Ace = one card, number = two cards, + = three cards
B Cards for auction are revealed from the Auction
Deck.
C Players bid until there is an unchallenged high bid.
D The high bidder decides whether to take all of the cards
or share them, cards are distributed, and anyone who got
a card pays their bid.
E Players who did not get cards from the auction may
get coins if they already own cards that are close to the
winning bid; for example, if the winning bid is six coins and
they own a 6, 5, or 4.
F All players get a chance for a few coins, depending on
a card from the Goblin Deck.
G SCORING g
+ 1 point per card
for your three strongest suits
- 1 point per card
for each other suit
Number cards score for both suits
