Rodney: thank you very much for reviewing this game. I know you probably have a huge pipeline of new, complex, gorgeous and miniature-filled games to review, so I appreciate you taking the time to review this elegant, simple but super fun game. My dad loved the game and I remember playing it 5-6 times in a row every time we opened it. And his reaction when he had to give me a 3 coin card 😄 Dr. Finn: thank you for creating this game that brings back so many good memories. Be assured that a lot of gamers appreciate this game, even with the overflow of new, shiny and expensive Kickstarter releases.

If you want to spice up your game of Biblios a bit, here's a variant that I really enjoy: At the end of the auction phase, the players "pay taxes to the church" and whichever player has the lowest total value in gold cards is eliminated from the game, and therefore excluded from calculating scores. Adds an extra bit of tension because you might have high values in resources, but if you spent too much gold to acquire those resources, then you might not get to win.

Hi Rodney! Love your channel! If you’re playing a 2 player game during the auction phase and your opponent does not bid, then does that mean you automatically get the card by bidding just 1 coin? Or does your opponent have another chance to bid after you?
@joshuamidwood38253 жыл бұрын
I guess to simplify my question, is the active player allowed to bid on the card that they are showing? :)
@WatchItPlayed3 жыл бұрын
Once you pass you can't bid again, but if your opponent passes right away, then yes, you can bid 1 and take it. They can't bid at that point because they've already passed. Hope that helps!
@renukaria77463 жыл бұрын
I've a doubt: Player X passed, player Y and player Z bid some amount Player Z is penalised for over bidding and the auction phase begins again for that card. Now, will player X, who previously had passed, will again get a chance to enter in the auction? The rule book just says that a fresh auction must begin. (As far as my understanding goes, player X will get chance to auction. But now since he knows how much player Y is willing to pay, he may hike the price for that card for him).
@WatchItPlayed3 жыл бұрын
Yes, X would get a chance to auction. And technically, X doesn't know "for sure" how much Y was willing to pay. Maybe now they'll bid more to stop player X from getting the card. Honestly this shouldn't come up much, because players don't overbid unless they are being careless (the penalty is too high to make over bidding something you'd ever want to do).

Correct.

It is very unlikely that it will happen, the church cards are extremely powerful during the auction phase, someone is going to pay at least 1 to get it.
