About BidKing
Welcome to Bid King—the ultimate auction showdown of wits and lies! Core Gameplay: 4-Player Psychological Warfare This is no ordinary auction game. In Sealed Bid Mode, every bid in a round is strictly confidential—you can't see anyone else's amount, so all you can do is guess, act, and bluff.

Is the player who suddenly raised the bid genuinely interested, or deliberately trying to drag you down? Four collectors, but only one can have the last laugh. Collector Skills: Everyone Has a "Special Ability" Every…
