Auction Junktion is the world's first storage auction game you can play at home! Players use bidding, bluffing and other underhanded skills to win the best treasures while leaving everyone else wallowing in useless junk!
When storage lockers go unpaid or abandoned, the property goes up for auction to the highest bidder!
Each auction is played out with several face down cards drawn representing items in a storage locker. Each player only gets to peek at one item but you are bidding on the entire set. Be careful, because many of the items are worthless junk! Sift your way through the trash to find the hidden treasures!
You've got to use all the bargaining skills you have to beat out the competition as well as good bluffing skills to get the other players to buy all the junk.
But the fun doesn't stop there! Put your negotiating skills to the test as you work some deals with the other players to rake in big profits!
It's all about the money; will you have it all at the end or will you be wallowing in a big pile of junk?
(NOTE: This game does not intend to depict real world prices for items found in storage units. This game is for entertainment purposes only.)

Auction Junktion is a fun game, filled with lots of bidding war entertainment. The only downside is that some of the characters are not fully balanced.
*UPDATE* The character cards have been tweaked to make them more balanced and competitive.
