Official FAQ
- This only happens the first time a player gains a Province; it does not matter if the Province was bought or not, or if Provinces have left the pile earlier due to Salt the Earth.
- This happens between turns; Possession (from Dominion: Alchemy) will not be in effect.
- The player to the left of the player who got the Province bids first, then the player to their left and so on, ending with the player who got the Province.
- Each bid can be a pass, or a higher bid than the previous bid.
- Bids are in amounts of , from to ; a bid of cannot be beaten.
- The player who bid the highest (if any) gets +8 and takes the amount of of their bid.

Trivia
Secret History
At first it was when the first Province was bought, the buyer bid first, no limit, and the prize was 10 . Since the correct bid might be infinity, there's a limit, and hey why not the total number of tokens included. Gain felt better than buy; between turns dealt with Possession, man, that card. And eventually I lowered it to 8 to reduce the chance that you run out of tokens.
