Games Night With Alexander (Part-4)

Facing Gelene's reasoning, Cambyses refused to lose any ground, counterattacking, 

"That's hogwash! It would have only happened if Mean and you were the only players on the field. There are four of us! So even if Mean doesn't buy, the other two can, thus denying the third."

And then saying this, Cambyses turned to Alexander to say, "In fact, I will buy it. Start the auction, Alex."

"Ummm… there will be no auction in this game." Alexander however declined that offer, reasoning, "It always turns into a screaming market whenever we have auctions. So I decided unsold properties will remain unsold."

"But you can buy it if you land on it." Saying this Alexander then handed Cambyses the two dies, indicating it was her turn.

Cambyses did not bother to argue that landing on a piece of property to buy was the whole point of the games, and neither did she argue against Alexander taking out the auction feature.
