AUCTION SALE

Source: Games for Everybody
Category: GAMES FOR ADULTS





Provide twenty or more bundles, all shapes and sizes, securely
wrapped. Each bundle has a name on it suggestive of what is
inside. For instance, "A pair of kids," may contain two kid hair
curlers, "A bunch of dates," may be a calendar; "A diamond pin," a
dime and a pin.

Each guest is given a bag containing fifty beans, no one can bid
higher than fifty.

The auctioneer, who must be a witty person, who can carry on a lively
bidding, stands by a table where the parcels are piled and carries on
the sale until all the parcels are sold. The bundles are then opened
by the purchasers and there is much merriment over the contents.




Next: THE GENTEEL LADY.
