Kiraya property auctions
Understand Kiraya auctions: bidding, deadlines, quick raises, dropping out and winning a deed.
Play a gameWhen an auction begins
If a player passes on an affordable unowned property, the table can auction it when auctions are enabled. The panel shows the property, current bid, leader and time remaining.
How to bid
Use a suggested raise or type an exact bid. Bids must be higher than the current bid and affordable. Dropping out is final for that auction.
How it ends
The highest remaining bidder wins the deed and only that player pays. Set a ceiling before you start.
Auctions are the reason passing is a decision
Without auctions, declining a property you cannot afford costs you nothing and the deed simply stays on the shelf. With them, the rest of the table gets a shot at it at a price they set, so passing on a cheap property in a group somebody is collecting can hand them the set. This also means an auction is sometimes worth entering purely to make the eventual winner pay properly for it — though a bid you win at a price you cannot afford is the most expensive mistake in the game.
