Xenofera: Galactic Market is a strategic bidding game where 2-6 players compete to build the most magnificent collection of Xenofera. Players will need to balance bidding with acquiring resources to bid with as all bids are lost, regardless of who wins, at the end of each round. In addition, players can play special action cards that alter the bid or in other ways help them. Multiple play options and combinations of special action cards allow each game to be unique. Game play lasts between 25 and 30 rounds depending on the version of the game played. —description from the designer
