What the Heck?
Players use a shared numbered deck of bidding cards and a pool of prize tiles that range from negative to positive points. Each round a prize tile is drawn and players secretly select one of their remaining cards, then reveal simultaneously. For positive prizes the highest unique bid wins the tile; for negative prizes the lowest unique bid receives it. Ties cancel and pass the prize to the next eligible bid. Play continues until all fifteen prizes are awarded, and the player with the highest total score wins.
