For Sale (Travel Edition)
For Sale (Travel Edition) is a compact and exciting version of the classic real estate buying and selling game, perfect for taking on your travels. This fast-paced game is divided into two exciting phases: in the first, players bid on available properties, and in the second, they seek to sell these properties for maximum profit. I remember one game during a trip where the competition was fierce. I used my bluffing skills to make my opponents believe that a valuable house was less interesting than it really was. This generated a great return in sales! This aspect of reading your opponents is what makes each match unique and full of strategy. The travel edition is light, easy to carry and perfect for playing on a coffee table or at a picnic. Get ready to make quick decisions, estimate values and surprise your friends with your tactics. Can you be the luckiest broker at the table? Challenge yourself and find out!Artists: Óscar Aguado; Alvin Madden

GAME mechanics
- Programmed Movement - Players secretly decide their actions before revealing them simultaneously, which adds a layer of strategy and foresight to the game.
- Simultaneous Action Selection - In For Sale (Travel Edition), all players choose their actions at the same time, revealing them together. This reduces waiting time and increases the tension in decisions.
- Commodities speculation - This mechanic involves the valuation and purchase of properties, where the player needs to anticipate the future value in order to maximize profits.
- Hand Management - Players must efficiently manage their property cards and money, ensuring they have the resources they need at the right time to win auctions and make successful bids.
- Auction / Bidding - Auctions are a central part of the game, where players compete to acquire properties of varying values, using secret bids to try and outbid each other.
- Negotiation - Although it's not the main focus, players can incidentally negotiate and exchange information, trying to influence other people's decisions in their favor.
- Action Points - Actions are limited, forcing players to think carefully about how and when to use their opportunities to maximize returns.
- Bets and Bluffs - Participants can employ bluffing tactics when bidding, feigning interest in certain properties to get other players to spend their resources unnecessarily.
