Description

In the game of Invaluable, you're the director of your own museum, competing against other players to build the most valuable collection. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be up and running in no time, buying and selling artifact cards to amass a high-scoring collection or just to get rich. The game is designed for 3 to 6 players and can be played in as little as 20 minutes, making it a great option for a quick game night. The order in which you offer artifact cards for auction determines their value, so timing is everything - you'll need to carefully plan your moves to outmaneuver your opponents. As you take turns putting cards up for auction, you'll need to balance your bids with the risk of running out of money at the wrong time. But if you win an auction, you'll get to add the artifact to your museum tableau, where its value will depend on how it's positioned relative to other artifacts. With coins also worth points, you can choose to focus on building a valuable collection or on making a profit from selling artifacts - either way, the goal is to come out on top. With its unique blend of auction and push-your-luck mechanics, Invaluable is a fun and exciting economic game that's sure to challenge and entertain players of all skill levels.
