POTS!

Pots! is a fast-paced game for 3-6 players aged 12 and over and lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. It is set in Classical Athens. Players bid against each other to acquire the biggest and best collection of vases, as they travel round the key areas of the city. Good judgment and a pinch of luck are needed, but even then the gods of Mount Olympos may intervene to help or hinder you. The game comes with two sets of rules. The starter rules get players into the swing of the game, and the standard game introduces a unique movement system and six different types of auction. Both versions involve skill, luck and bluffing, with lots of player interaction.
