Review: Peanut Club (Lumberjacks Studio) – English

Auction! Do I hear a hundred there? Do I hear a thousand? Once… Twice… Sold to the man with the big nuts! Are you worth your weight in money, or in peanuts or camels? Not to worry, because in Peanut Club by Lumberjacks Studio, camels can be worth more than money! Will you gather the most auctioned off items and combine the icons the best to beat the rest? Then you’ll reap the rewards!

In Peanut Club, everyone starts with an almost random set of cards, which consist of peanuts, camels and millions of dollars. You also choose a character with a certain bonus. Each round, one or more objects are auctioned off and players must bid against each other. Depending on the value of the auctioned objects and your own goals, you may or may not want to win a certain auction. Or you want to make sure that the other person bids a lot for an object that is just a bit too cheap…

You also have various powers at your disposal which you can use once or twice. For example, you can make peanuts more valuable than millions of dollars, or make the camel the most valuable. You can also play with the value of your cards or how many cards you have to discard.

Peanut Club is a fun bidding game disguised in a special name. Do you have a nice group of friends and do you like cunning games with loads of bluff and tactical surprises? Then you have struck gold with Peanut Club! Or peanuts, or camels, or millions of dollars. Whatever might be worth more. Sold!
