This is where trades come in. With trades one player attempts to get a card of a particular animal type from another player. In doing this they risk losing a card of that animal type to that player. For example: Player A and Player B both have a single cow card. Player C has two cow cards. Each would like to collect all four cow cards. First Player A attempts a trade of cow cards with Player C. Since Player A only has one cow card, only one cow card is at risk for each player. In the trade let's say that Player A was able to obtain a cow card from Player C. Now Player A has two cow cards, and Player C only has one. Next Player B tries to trade with Player A. Again only one cow card is at stake. And again Player A is successful at gaining a cow card. Player A has three cow cards, and Player B has none. Now it is Player C's turn. Let's say that Player C tries to do a trade for cow cards with Player A. Let's say that again Player A is successful in getting a cow card. Now Player A has all four cow cards. Player B and Player C have none. Since Player A has a complete set, no one can can trade cow cards for the remainder of the game. Player A has locked out cow cards for themselves for the rest of the game.
Thank you very much for your reply, Lyle. Another question: how do you bid exactly? Is there a minimum amount? The rules say nothing about this but I was thinking of bidding only multiples of 5 and minimum 5.
@@laxisusous No it doesn't. They are sold to who pays the highest number of cards (no matter the value). The auctioner counts down from 10 to 0. The first one to yell "mine" at a certain number, pays that amount of cards (can be all zeros) to the auctioner. Or the auctioner uses his privilege to pay the same amount of cards to the first one.
Hi Lyle. I have a question about the cow bargain (trade): Say I (secretly) offer $90 for someone's cow, and they challenge and offer $100 - so they get my cow instead. Do they get my cow and pay me $100? Or is the money exchange more complicated? Thanks. :)
If the traded money is the same amount, then the money is taken back and the trade is repeated until one player has traded more than the other player. Short answer, the trade is tried again.
'There's only 4 of each animal in the deck' (1:26) What if two or more players are aiming for the same animal?

If no one makes a bid for the card the auctioneer gets the card. The minimum increase in bid is $10 according to the German rules.
The Pedigree auction would be very useful to understand how it is played - as this is different than regular auction. Thanks
It works just like the normal auction. At the end of the game it will get you more points if it matches your scored cards (sets of four).

@@matthias2622 You are correct. That was my mistake.

They get your cow and the $90. You just get $100.
Hi Lyle, what if during the trade the money exchanged by both is the trade? Who gets the card then?

@@laxisusousaccording to the rules, after two ties in a row (both offering equal money), then the challenger receives the cards.
These drawings are much nicer than mine.
What is the use of 0$ card ? If it has no value
It can be used to bluff people into thinking that you will offer something other than $0.
Yes
