Blind Gavel

Auction house deception

Blind Gavel is a PC game set in a Victorian-era auction house built around deception. You bid on items while the auctioneer knows their real value and secretly enriches partners hidden in the crowd.

Bluff and bid

You bluff and try to pull off the con as you bid. The room can vote on your death, putting that threat alongside the auction and its hidden collusion. Each bid is made with the auctioneer’s knowledge and the partners’ presence in the crowd hanging over it.
