Please do not share the webinar link with anyone who has not registered. We will be streaming the auction on ACB Media 7 for those who want to listen and not bid.
2. Be Kind: Stay muted until it is time to bid. When bidding, remember voices will overlap and it may be difficult for the auctioneer to identify voices.
3. Keep Your Change: We only take bids that end in a $0 or $5, or in other words $5 increments, although you are welcome to skip ahead. Thank you for keeping are addition process simple.
4. Identify Yourself: When bidding, please remember we do not know everyone’s voices, and those who bid without stating who is making the bid will not be accepted. A good rule of thumb is if you have a common name, please use first and last. We want to make sure things go to their happy new owners in the end.
5. Collect Your Goods: We will be collecting payment via invoices this year. Once your invoice is paid, we will send contact information to those who have donated the item(s) you won. Please make sure to notify us sooner than later if there is any issue with collecting your item(s). Any outstanding items won that are not claimed by the end of the year will simply be considered as a donation to ACB Next Generation. For example, if you win an online class and put off making arrangements to have your lesson, we cannot help after the year ends. Also, remember that many gift cards start to decrease in value after a year, so make sure to not forget about your winnings.
(Note: We will have assistance for those who are unable to pay with the emailed invoice.)
1. Exploding Kittens Accessibility Kit
Donated by: 64 Oz Games
Description:
Accessibility Kits require the retail version of the game in order to play.
This accessibility kit requires knowledge of Braille and some minor reader assistance in initial setup. Includes Braille to put card titles on cards and reference sheets for complete card text.
Exploding Kittens is a kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players take turns drawing cards until someone draws an exploding kitten and loses the game. The deck is made up of cards that let you avoid exploding by peeking at cards before you draw, forcing your opponent to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck. The game gets more and more intense with each card you draw because fewer cards left in the deck means a greater chance of drawing the kitten and exploding in a fiery ball of feline hyperbole.

Instead of a roller ball at the end of the cane, there is a ball of yarn with a bit of string rolling off of it at the bottom of the print.
This is just a delightful and whimsical print. Tricia doesn’t even have a cat and carries it all the time because it is so cute!
