![85561807-1bc7-4693-b688-8f74143d21a1](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/3X/4/9/49acc54025e879035927de2ab68f7234aa326509.jpeg) Hello! Let’s play Puerto Banana! A silly auction party game where you bid with bananas to win a container full of bananas. You can read the rules from the horse’s mouth here in the Blue Orange website: [16.10.2023\_Puerto Banana\_regles.indd](https://blueorangegames.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/PuertoBanana-Rules-EN.pdf) In essence, it is about groupthink and see how bananas everyone is on bidding. If the container has an amount of 20. Maybe you’ll bid 30 because you’re anticipating that someone will bid 25. It can get crazy pretty fast. But try not to get TOO bananas otherwise you’ll bust and go down back to zero! =========================== **Let’s put an example, in case you’re still unclear from reading the rules:** Container that is up for grabs: 25 bananas Me: 16 bananas Player 1: 25 bananas Player 2: 17 bananas I think the highest that people will bid will be 30. So i’ll put it 35. So I win 25 and then pay maybe around 5 to the next player. So a net of 20~. That sounds alright! So, I’ll put in my bid > **My bid** > > 35 Oh no. Someone went for 40!! Bids: Me: 35 Player 1: 40 Player 2: 32 First, Player 1 wins the container of 25 bananas. (25 + 25 = 50) Then they pay the next player (me), the difference in our bids (40 - 35 = 5) Me: 16 + 5 = 21 Player 1: 50 - 5 = 45 Current money: Me: 21 Player 1: 45 Player 2: 17 I hope the example made sense ================ Again, game ends when 200 is reached ---

On the same settings you clicked: there’s “blur spoiler”. I’m fine with either spoilers or details since they both do the job ---

Perhaps along with our bid, we should post which bidder we are, so when the sixth person posts, they can easily see they are sixth and can then reveal the bids and process the results? ---
