Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King
30m - 50m
2 - 5 Players
Ages 8+
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 primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.
Set Collection
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.

Definitely a neat game, although the random draw can suck when your tiles are the ones no one wants to buy for multiple rounds in a row, and you get starved for cash. Doesn't seem to be a common occurrence, just a rough edge case. Second play reinforced scoring strategies and how to plan ahead, but I still have no clue how to price things appropriately, so that you can get 2 tiles a turn (one bought and one not-bought from you). Scoring seems to be not intuitive, as at least one player each game was completely non-competitive. I've played the app ~50 times, and it's a fun game that I think would be neat, but my family doesn't do auction games and the timing of what goals are scored is confusing for new players. So, I sold it.

This is a Carcassonne killer for us since it is basically the same tile placement game. However using 4 scoring tiles out of 16 makes for a very different game and very different scoring. The auction and bidding aspect is what really makes the game unique. Setting the price your opponent has to pay but also what you have to pay is clever. I am not a fan of tile placement but there is enough here to make this unique that we will keep it and sell Carcassonne.
