Overview

Legends speak of ancient relics, locked away for untold centuries -- who knows what treasures and terrors await? Great power can be yours if you’ve got a villainous eye for looking past the other temptations of the vaults!

Relic Roadshow adds new temptations to Vault Wars allowing you to bid your way to the dark side! New Vaults are uncompromised by special rules and instead award the second-highest bidder with powerful Relics to craft! Drawn by the corrupting power, Aspiring Villains reward you for crafting their desired Relics. Vices give powerful, unique abilities... if you’re willing to take on a bit of corruption, of course! Step right up and place your bid!

Players will take turns as an Auction Master, leading a cut-throat bidding war to selling off Vaults full of items to the other players. Each Vault provides a unique experience, introducing new ways for the players to bid. No player quite knows everything that's in a Vault, and there's lots of junk to fool your opponents into bidding on. Between auctions, players may sell off their items to gain Gold, or save them for Victory Points -- paying storage fees to keep them around. Collect gems for massive Victory Points, Weapons to gain lots of Gold, or rare Artifacts to gain powerful abilities. Each player has up-and-coming heroes who are looking for specific items, giving out bonus victory points (but try to keep that a secret from your opponents). The player with the most victory points after all the auctions will be the winner!
