## What is Bid Wars?

Bid Wars is the party game where two friends bid fake money on mystery items, then argue about who built the better collection.

HOW IT WORKS
Pick a topic. Each player starts with $20. Ten hidden items come up one at a time, and you take turns raising the bid by at least $1, or pass and let the other player have it. Spend too much early and you will be broke when the good stuff shows up. Every item lands on someone's shelf, and you each finish with exactly five. When the last item is gone, compare your collections, hear the judge rate them on reputation and reviews (never on money), and decide who really won.

PLAYS ON ONE PHONE
Pass it back and forth. No accounts, no sign-ups and no internet needed to play.

TOPICS FOR EVERYONE
Games, football, anime, movies, food, travel, music, tech, sports, cars and loads more. Every round draws fresh items, and the app avoids repeating names from recent games. Stuck on what to watch, eat or play? Ask the app to pick for you.

OPTIONAL SPEED MODE
Turn on the 3-second rule for a real auction feel: going once, going twice, sold.

FREE TO PLAY
Bid Wars is free, with almost every topic included and a short ad between some rounds. Bid Wars Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads and adds bonus topic packs. No subscription. Can't decide yet? Watch a short ad to try a Pro topic once.

All money in the game is fake and has no cash value. There is no gambling in Bid Wars.

Bid Wars is an independent game. Game, brand, team and personal names in topic packs belong to their owners and appear only as plain-text names. Bid Wars is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
