    Description

    Upbid is billed as a game of Business Strategy and Risk.

    The principle component to the game are 48 cards with two strategies, A and B, cross referenced with the roll of a pair of dice, and a payoff. For example:

    STRATEGY A: 2-7: -10$, 8-10: +100$, 11-12: +1250$
    STRATEGY B: +300$, -100$, -120$

    In the basic game players take turns revealing the cards, choosing a strategy, and rolling to see the gain or loss. In the slightly more advanced game each player is allowed to buy partial information on a card, by rolling a single die before committing to a strategy. In the example above partial information costs 90$, and if you bought it then rolled a 6 you would be more inclined to choose strategy A.

    In the advanced game players take turns revealing cards, and auctioning them off to the other players who then play them against the auctioning player, rather than a bank. Additionally each card has a set indicator, and when you collect six cards in a set you can turn them in for 500$ from each player.
