Review: When you enter the lounge you will find the other players here as well. In the newspaper the auction is announced and there is a wide variety of art pieces available to bid on, which is nice and it shows the history of developer Marshall Cavendish. It is a nice sidestep of the reference cultural art titles that Marshall Cavendish was involved with. The bidding works quite nice, pretty fast and even in CD-i Emulator it plays nicely. But there is not more to do rather than bidding on items. A game like this was quite unique in 1994, but nowadays the content would be too limited. At the end of the game, all players will show their score and you will be ranked based on your collection, bidding history and bank level.
