Actually I wouldn't consider this a negotiation game, although I 
guess with the right group you could introduce that ("If you let me 
win this bid for Lancelot I won't steal a courtier from you" type 
stuff could occur).  Negotiation certainly isn't central to the game 
as it is a bidding (for role selection) and set-collection game 
when pared down to the essentials.

Anything which adds tension to the choices available in a game 
gets my approval.
