Strategic Auction Simulation · NB Blue Studios
A live competitive decision simulation
A live, high-pressure auction simulation designed for MBA programs, corporate training, and strategic thinkers. Teams compete in real time — bidding, strategising, and managing scarce resources under the clock.
What is Game of Gambits
Game of Gambits is a live auction-based simulation where teams compete to build the best possible portfolio under strict budget and time constraints. Every bid is a strategic decision — bid too low and lose the asset, bid too high and run out of budget for what matters most.
The simulation runs entirely online, with a facilitator dashboard giving full control over the pace, rounds, and debrief. Designed to generate rich discussion about decision-making, risk, and competitive strategy.

Platform Features
01
🎯Real-time auction mechanics where participants bid under time pressure — forcing fast, strategic decisions with incomplete information.
02
💰Each team starts with a fixed budget. Every bid is a trade-off — spend big on one asset and you may not afford the ones you need later.
03
🧩Teams must build a balanced portfolio across multiple categories — testing both specialisation and diversification strategies simultaneously.
04
📊Facilitators control the pace, pause rounds, override filters, and monitor all teams in real time — enabling rich debrief discussions.
How It Works
Admin configures player pool, budgets, and round structure before the session.
Teams bid in real time against each other with countdown timers and live price updates.
Mid-auction, teams adapt — watching rivals, managing reserves, filling portfolio gaps.
Post-auction analytics reveal decision patterns, budget efficiency, and strategy outcomes.
