unfortunately i do not know the original game, but i guess one could get rid of the auction after round 12 and just reveal the prices of the goods - maybe 'auction-style' but without the timer.

that's a really good idea, as it becomes easier for rookies like me to somewhat assess the fairness of hosts before you enter a game. it may prevent you from realizing after some rounds that you are in a 2player game with a host that wont respond until you quit the game, who then goes on to play AI....

thank you for putting so much effort in improving this game and keeping it up and running

hi,

i'm new here and just played my first online game. what do i do if the host wont do anything. meaning he or she just keeps the game from moving on by not pressing "his or her" button at the end of the round?
