{"product_id":"merchants-of-andromeda","title":"Merchants of Andromeda","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Merchants of Andromeda, you have to play the game of space politics, casting votes in the Senate, bidding on lucrative space goods, or resorting to ship combat!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the start of your turn, you draw three cards (one at a time), choosing one each to discard (which grants you a resource), keep (which grants you an action), or auction (which grants the winner both an action and a resource). To perform the Dutch auction in this game, use either a timer or the game's dedicated app — the more the timer ticks down, the less the winner will pay. Through these cards, you'll manipulate the market, play intergalactic mini-games, and resolve events. In the end, the player with the most money wins!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDutch Auction Mechanic via Timer or App: You draw cards and for some, instead of picking immediately, you auction them.
