Vulture Capital (2021)

In Vulture Capital, you try to dump your junk assets into the open market. Taking cards is usually bad, so the object is to take as few cards as you can.

Players play several rounds, making blind bids that capture other cards, whether you want them or not! Each card you capture is one negative point (regardless of its rank) — unless you capture a full set (all the cards in one rank) in which case it's worth positive points equal to its rank.

The player with the highest score wins.
