From the Box:

High-Bid is a fascinating and fast-moving new table game that rivals the action, excitement and money-making thrills of a real auction! Competition is keen as two to four players try to outbid (and outbluff) one another in an attempt to complete valuable collections of antiques and objets d'art. High Bid appeals to collectors, auction-hounds and gamesters of all ages. Average playing time per game is 45 minutes. Handsome Bookshelf case contains game board, property cards, buyer's cards, special dice, play money and instructions.
