A "second-price auction" bidding game where bidding certain amounts (or using certain bidding cards) allows you to see the value of some of the unexplored planets up for bid. Bidding is done with a small set of 11 bid cards, and players cannot bid the same amount, so it sometimes feels like a resource-allocation game (or even a worker-placement game, in a way.)
