Double Dealers Launches in Early Access on Steam
The demo already carried a Very Positive rating into launch, which gives Miklagard a reception cushion most Early Access multiplayer games do not have.

Miklagard Studios' multiplayer auction game Double Dealers launched on Steam on October 13. The game supports 3 to 6 players who bluff in chat and bid on items whose true value only the seller knows. A demo ran from May 27 to September 28 and holds a Very Positive rating on Steam. A shop, an Era bonus for matching items, and boxing, arm-wrestling and blindfolded gun duel scenes round out the release.
Each round, one player becomes the seller and picks one of three items to auction. The seller sees the item's true value and two hidden clauses; the buyers bid on limited information. Once everyone has sold, the game moves to a Market Phase, where items can be sold for money and matching Era attributes pay a bonus, so holding items back is a viable line.
Players spend earnings in a shop on cards that help themselves or hinder rivals. The build also includes boxing and arm-wrestling matches and blindfolded gun duels.
