Big Shot — How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? 💎

Description provided by Board Gems on YouTube:

Big Shot is a simple-to-explain auction/area-majority game with several twists that make it special. First, you auction groups of player pieces, yours and your opponents, meaning you can do something with every auction win, either to help or hinder. Second, ties cancel themselves out, meaning you can do a lot with a little. And finally, open money and a clever loan system means you'll agonize over outbidding your opponents. All of this in a crisp, challenging 30-45 minute game. Chef's kiss! If there was a Mount Rushmore of board game designers, Alex Randolph would be on it. While he might best be known for two-player abstracts like Twixt, Big Shot is one of his later games, and fits well in the "OG" simple-and-interactive school of multiplayer game design.
