Auctioneer is a game in which the players take the place of dealers and collectors from overseas, who by buying and selling aim to build up a collection of antiques and objects d'art. The winner of the game is the player who by shrewd dealing, has aquired all the available property and money, thus eliminating his opponents.

Each of the 48 articles illustrated in the game is a genuine work of art and all of them may be seen at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London
