The reviewer initially had low expectations for 'For Sale' due to its appearance and theme but was completely won over after playing, praising it as a surprisingly deep and tense filler game that quickly became a highly recommended crowd favorite.

“Every time I play a new bidding game I compare it to For Sale. They often will hit the table more frequently early on, but we always come back to the For Sale. The easy setup, theme and smooth game play are brilliant.”

“For Sale is a classic game that definitely earned all the praise an accolades it has received. It's one of the best card, family, and auction games I have ever played and will almost certainly make my top 100 games of all-time list.”

Tom Vasel emphatically praises "For Sale" as a fantastic, easily teachable, and highly replayable game that he believes every board game enthusiast should own, considering it the best in its series.

The reviewer enthusiastically praises 'For Sale' as one of the best auction games he has ever played, calling it brilliant and a modern classic that would easily be his game of the month if not for his usual two-player rating criteria.

“I have always loved this game. It is quick, but yet always filled with tense decision and an occasional brutal resolution in the second phase.”

“You’ll rarely see so much game in such a small package as you will in For Sale. It’s excitement all the way down to the wire, but is simple enough for kids to play and still rewards canny strategizing.”

“A good game of For Sale is a high-stakes game of chicken, full of feints, bluffs, double bluffs and surprise wins. It’s a game where a 1 card, played properly, can turn the tide of the game just as much as a 30 card.”

BoardGameDave highlights 'For Sale' as a delightful property bidding and auction game that excels with more players, emphasizing the fun experienced during both in-person and online play. He finds it to be an engaging game that gets better with a larger group.

“For sale is one of the true classics of the industry, a quick filler game about flipping real estate. The end result is a simple, fast and elegant game that scales well to high player counts.”
