Save as many seals as you can

In Highest Bidder: Seals of the Sea the seals have scattered in fear as sharks are lurking in the water. It's your goal to save as many of the adorable seals you can, using Energy Cards in your hand to place secret bids.

Without knowing how your opponents will bid, sort the cards in your hand in the order you wish to play them. At the count of three, all players simultaneously place down their selected cards, face down in individual piles. Cards are then revealed one at a time for some hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments when things go wonderfully to plan or utterly, horribly wrong.

Battle the sharks

Energy Cards are mixed with strategic "Effect Cards" that have you bend the rules. Use dolphins to battle shark cards, attack your opponents with seagulls, and see what Mr. Squid does when he appears. The possibilities are endless and the unforeseen events that unfold as cards are reveal and interact with one another are out right hilarious.
