ጨዋታ

ገበያ

The seller hides their lowest price; the buyers haggle. Who gets the best deal?

Players — 3 to 8

Write a name for every player.

How to play
  1. Each round one player is the seller. Something from the market comes up; the seller secretly sets the lowest price they will take, and calls out an asking price.
  2. Haggle out loud! Then the phone goes round, and each buyer, alone, makes one offer.
  3. The secret comes out. The lowest offer that still reaches it buys: 3 points, and 1 more if it is within 5% of the secret. An offer below the secret buys nothing.
  4. The seller gets 2 points for a sale, and 1 more if it sold for at least halfway between the secret and the asking price. Everybody sells once; the most points wins.

The prices are imaginary. Nothing is bought, sold or sent anywhere — the game stays on this phone.
