What is Myriad Auction?
If you're tired of the same old attack-with-a-sword loop, you need to look at Myriad Auction. It’s a weird, ambitious twist on the deckbuilder genre that replaces combat with the high-stakes thrill of blind auctions. You aren't building a combat engine; you're building your ability to sniff out value in a sea of unknowns.
Gameplay
You aren't fighting monsters in Myriad Auction; you're fighting the gamble. It’s Storage Wars meets a roguelike, where you blind-bid on entire warehouse lots. The deck-building loop isn't about combat synergies, but information management. You spend resources to uncover clues and sharpen an appraiser's estimate before making the one call that matters: bid or pass? Once you win the lot, you crack it open item by item to see if you struck gold or got fleeced. The tension isn't 'will I die?' but 'did I just spend all my money on a box of literal trash?' It’s a head-trip because the variety comes from the randomness of the lots. One run you’re a lucky mogul, the next you’re bankrupt by the third auction. It’s definitely not a Slay the Spire clone. It’s closer to the gambling high of Balatro, but you’re playing the market, not poker hands. The meta-progression is less about unlocking new characters and more about refining your ability to sniff out value amidst the chaos.

Verdict
It’s an ambitious twist on the genre that rewards patience and risk-taking, but it’s rough around the edges. If you love the 'just one more turn' feeling and don’t mind unpolished corners, grab the demo. But if you want a polished, straightforward strategy experience, skip it or wait for the full release.
