How to play Q.E.

In Q.E., players secretly write bids to buy companies, then compare them and pay nothing until the final scoring, when the biggest spender is eliminated. It feels like a bluffing auction game with room for reading the table and taking risks, and it suits groups of 3 to 5 who want a light, social strategy game in 45 minutes.
