In Merchants of Andromeda, you have to play the game of space politics, casting votes in the Senate, bidding on lucrative space goods, or resorting to ship combat!

At the start of your turn, you draw three cards (one at a time), choosing one each to discard (which grants you a resource), keep (which grants you an action), or auction (which grants the winner both an action and a resource). To perform the Dutch auction in this game, use either a timer or the game's dedicated app — the more the timer ticks down, the less the winner will pay. Through these cards, you'll manipulate the market, play intergalactic mini-games, and resolve events. In the end, the player with the most money wins!

Dutch Auction Mechanic via Timer or App: You draw cards and for some, instead of picking immediately, you auction them. The auction uses a timer: the longer it counts down, the cheaper the item gets—until someone bids.
Three Choice Card Draws Each Turn: On a turn, you draw three cards one by one, and for each you must choose to keep, discard, or auction. Each choice gives you different benefits (actions, resources, etc.).
Multiple Interacting Game Elements: Market, Senate, Events, Mini Games: The game has mechanics for influencing the market, political voting (in the Galactic Senate), resolving events, and mini games such as ship combat or defense.
Area Majority / Influence Mechanics: There's competition over control or influence: e.g. sector/board areas, influence or resources tracks, or voting, so players compete not just in pure resource collection but in who dominates certain areas or political outcomes.
