About Spirit Vale, from BoardGameGeek:
Spirit Vale is an auction game with simultaneous entangled delayed auctions. You will have at most two chances to bid in each auction, and it's up to you to decide when each auction ends. Once ended, the winner receives a blessing, the losers receive gifts of money, and everyone gains a payout for their blessings.
Whether you lose auctions, win blessings, or receive blessing payouts, become the richest player when the last auction finishes to win the game!
