Green Deal
60m - 90m
2 - 5 Players
Ages 10+
This mechanic requires you to place a bid, usually monetary, on items in an auction of goods in order to enhance your position in the game. These goods allow players future actions or improve a position. The auction consists of taking turns placing bids on a given item until one winner is established, allowing the winner to take control of the item being bid on. Usually there is a game rule that helps drop the price of the items being bid on if no players are interested in the item at its current price.
Auction/Bidding
The simultaneous action selection mechanic lets players secretly choose their actions. After they are revealed, the actions resolve following the rule-set of the game.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Tile Placement games feature placing a piece to score VPs, with the amount often based on adjacent pieces or pieces in the same group/cluster, and keying off non-spatial properties like color, "feature completion", cluster size etc.

Green Deal Green Deal is a strategy game about companies investing into different projects opening business sites to serve 4 different purposes (improvement of corporate social responsibility, research, jobs, and sustainability). The players have to consider the initial cost, net profit or cost and development points that these projects yield. Also the location of these sites matters as proximity to similar projects from other companies can create synergies or increase competition, which can boost or impair the player's income severely. The player’s companies regularly get evaluated on their impact on CSR, research, jobs, and sustainability. In some of these evaluations they get the opportunity to tweak their perceived results by additional advertising. This game is a pure tactical game, in which the timing of decisions plays a major role. Players bid on the order in which they act, which has a high impact on the availability of good investment options. Even though the rules are relatively simple, the tactical complexity is high and the possibilities in the game are well balanced, so that I have not been able to single out a superior strategy to which to default to. The dynamics of different players or different events in the game make Green Deal rich in variety and fun to play. Due to the complexity in deciding on a strategy, especially experienced players will love this game.

[September 2017 - 5.6] This one fell flat for me. It's billed as an economic game, but I see it more as a Euro in which the theme doesn't really come through. At it's most basic level in Green Deal, you're bidding to pick cards that raise or lower your income and stature in the game. I found myself just looking at the numbers and colors of the cards more than the theme and it felt like just pushing and pulling levers to score points. There's an added area-control aspect, but I'd call it more of a puzzle, trying to best position yourself with respect to the other players to score more points. All of this isn't bad, it just doesn't all come together or create much tension or big decision-making. I thought the best part of the game was the PR-point scoring in that you might be low in a scoring track officially, but you can artificially and temporarily pump up your "image" in that track come scoring time. The simultaneous reveal of where players were allocating their PR points reminds me of designating the Castillo meeples in El Grande. If you're looking for a similar Euro/economic/progressive theme, I think Manhattan Project: Engergy Empire works a little better.

A decently designed strategy game with a nice (although I'd say rather light) sustainability theme. My rating includes a +0.5 bonus for the theme. But I would have preferred a slightly deeper theme immersion (which I would have rewarded with another half point or so bonus for theme). For instance, some of the cards that let you gain something by "morally objectionable" actions could carry a risk that the public finds out, which would let you suffer setbacks in PR assessment and/or sustainability assessment. (This would probably mean that the gains need to be increased so that the cards are still balanced with the added risk.)
