	When setting the maximum bids, each player is essentially predicting what the final scores of each faction will be. For example, let’s say the current factions up for bid are Cultists, Giants, and Mermaids and you think the final scores will be something like 135, 120, and 130. In that case your maximum bids should be 15, 0, and 10 since you are equally happy to take Cultists with a bid of 15 as you are taking Giants at 0.

			== Fast auction explanation ==
			(explanations taken from https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2506595080, check the link for extra details and example)

			=== Summary ===
			All players will select a faction that will be put up for auction. Players will simultaneously and secretly bid how many VP they are willing to lose in order to win that faction. After all players enter in their maximum bids, the auction proceeds automatically with each player maximizing their own personal value. The starting turn order is tied to the factions themselves, so the first faction listed in the auction will be the starting player after the auction is over.
