About the Game
Welcome to Bid King—the ultimate auction showdown of wits and lies!
Core Gameplay: 4-Player Psychological Warfare
This is no ordinary auction game. In Sealed Bid Mode, every bid in a round is strictly confidential—you can't see anyone else's amount, so all you can do is guess, act, and bluff. In Standard Mode, visible bids are merely a facade for psychological warfare: is your opponent testing the waters or setting a trap? Is the player who suddenly raised the bid genuinely interested, or deliberately trying to drag you down?
Four collectors, but only one can have the last laugh.
Collector Skills: Everyone Has a "Special Ability"
Every collector has an untold past, and each one possesses unique information-gathering skills because of it:
Some can peek at an opponent's bidding range, as if using "X-ray vision."
Some can sense the true value of collectibles, helping them score accurate bargains.
Others can spread false information, bluffing their opponents into a trap.
Use your skills wisely and turn information asymmetry into your weapon. Remember: This isn't a game of luck; it's a gladiatorial arena for the wise.
Unboxing Collectibles: Surprises Emerging from the Fog
Winning the auction is when the real heart-pounding moment begins! The game features a "Gradual Collectible Reveal" mechanic—as the unboxing progresses, items emerge from the fog one by one.
One moment, you think you've ended up with nothing but a pile of scrap; the next, you're thrilled when a rare collectible appears out of nowhere. This emotional rollercoaster is exactly what makes the experience so thrilling.
Mind Games: Bidding Wars, Traps, and Crushing Your Opponents
Think winning the auction means winning the game? Think again. A true "Bid King" knows that making others lose money can be even more satisfying than making money yourself.
Deliberately spread false rumors to bait an opponent into paying top for a pile of junk, or raise the bid at a critical moment to saddle your rival with a costly mistake... Even if you take a small loss, as long as the other side suffers a crushing defeat, the match is worth it!
Your Collection: Every Collectible is a Trophy
The rare collectibles you secure at low prices will be added to your 3D digital collection cabinet, where you can admire them anytime. They're more than just impressive displays—they're trophies of your tactical skill.
