Sale Barn

Sale Barn is a rhythm game about running a Midwest livestock auction. You are the auctioneer on the block: tap on the beat to keep the chant rolling, swipe toward a bidder the instant they bid, and swipe down to hammer the lot SOLD. Every regular in the bleachers bids their own way. Earl lifts one eyebrow. Lyle holds buyer card 212 up high. Tuck tips his hat early and quits short of the board. Ray buys over the phone through the ring man. Mrs. Halvorsen never bids until you say "going once", so hammer too early and you never find out what she'd have paid. Then there's Dale, who swats flies all day and never buys a thing. Learn the tells, keep the beat and get the consignor top dollar. Better cattle bring a faster chant. Work the circuit from Dodge City to Joplin, Torrington and Fort Pierre, then take the block at the world championship finals, where judges score your chant, your bid catching and how you run the sale. Each barn's sale-day weather is live, so a hot day speeds up the chant and rain thins the crowd. A new consignment arrives every day. Features: • One-thumb rhythm play: tap the beat, swipe to bids, swipe down to sell • Eight bidders, each with a tell, plus two who never actually bid • Four sale barns and a championship finals with three judges • Lot quality sets the tempo, and every sale is scored on three stars: sold, top dollar, clean ring • Live sale-day weather at every barn changes the tempo, crowd and prices • A ledger of every lot you've sold, grouped by sale day • A bidder book that unlocks each regular's habits as you catch their bids • Your own sale bill, with a halftone portrait from your camera or photos • Optional daily reminder for the day's consignment Pull up a chair. The ring's open.
