Business

An auction and set-collection game has players simultaneously bid for differently colored chip sets, then exchange them for changing card values. The order of selection matters, and the largest cash pile at the end wins.

This is one a very few games released under the Relaxx label, and one of the more recent Sid Sackson games. The title of the game, Business, seems like a bit of a misnomer, because there is little about business in the game. Each turn, a set of colored chips are auctioned off for each player, however, the number of chips and color combinations are different. Players simultaneously bid some of their bankroll to determine what order they'll pick their set. Once all the chips have been awarded, players can cash in sets of chips for the values on cards which change every turn. The player at the end of the game with the largest pile of cash takes the win.
