About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a different kind of race in Galopp Royal! While we're ostensibly racing sedan chairs through the gardens of Versailles, the real show happens beforehand, during the auction rounds. That's where the magic (and madness) unfolds: bluffing, high bids, and twists of fate that will keep everyone on the edge of their seats. You'll need to use all your cunning and intuition to get what you need and secure victory. Each auction is a mini-battle where the best negotiator gains an advantage for the race. Don't be fooled; it's not just about rolling dice and hoping for the best. There's plenty of strategy and psychology involved. Luck might lend a hand, but it's your business acumen and poker face that will lead you to the podium. Perfect for those who enjoy games with direct interaction, a bit of controlled chaos, and the thrill of watching an opponent's plan crumble (or yours!). It's a game that breaks the mold, blending the adrenaline of a race with the tension of a heated auction. If you like experiencing the drama and fun of a game that challenges you in multiple ways, Galopp Royal might be your next favorite.
