Secret Societies Prototype Review — Deep Euro Bidding! @Shelfside

Uploaded September 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

If you wanted a Euro-driven bidding game with strong asymmetry, look no further! This Garpill Games' release has hand management of your bids as you seek to get the most power (victory points). You will collect sets of deeds (countries) and expand your income by filling in your player board! This game shares some similarities to entries like Hadrian's Wall, but has a LOT more interaction in comparison. Is this the auction game for you with variable set-up and a lot of really nice wooden tabletop pieces?
