Suggestion: Automatically pass players who can't bid on a colony

Post by belzorg »

When a colony comes up for bid, and a player can't bid higher, the only option is to pass. The game should just automatically pass that player to speed things up.

This is a bad suggestion, as automatic passes reveals information about what military cards a player does/doesn't have. As such there is an actual gameplay impact to this proposed change.

The app has an option, digital rules, where colony auctions are one simultaneous round. each player places their maximum bid, and the highest bid wins, and pays whatever the next highest bid was (+1 if they are later in turn order). It’s a great solution.
