Product Information

Modern Art is an auction game [1] designed by Reiner Knizia and first published in 1992 by Hans im Glück in German. Look at your hand and use that as a guidepost for how hard you can bid on a painting during any given auction. Bid shrewdly and sell the right pieces and you’ll earn enough money to keep the museum members happy, at least for one more season.

The two artists who have sold the least are not valued and their paintings will be worth nothing this round.

Crucially, the amount paid for paintings during the auctions is irrelevant at this point so it is only at the end of the round that everyone finds out whether they have made a profit or taken a heavy loss.

The works of the artist who has sold most paintings in that round receives 30 points, second place receives 20 points, and third place receives ten points. That is not to say that games can’t last much longer but usually, that’s because when the players are carried away by the theme, the auctions become more chaotic, raucous affairs so there are unlikely to be too many complaints. That is, as long as you're creating the deck for one game, it's easy enough to modify the deck to allow you to play both games.

This means that the value placed on the various Artist’s paintings may increase greatly over the course of the game if they continue to be offered up for auction in large numbers. looks like a kids' game at first glance, but the longer you look at the art, the more you'll begin to appreciate it.

These tokens in turn will give you a value for what each of the artworks from each artist are worth (in points). In the second, third, and fourth rounds the value of paintings at the end of a round depends not just on how the artist did in that round, but carry over from previous rounds as well.It is your responsibility to make sure that your operating equipment is compatible with the relevant software or video DVD before purchasing and that software purchased is functionally adequate for your needs. Home rule the game so that you only need maybe 4 cards of the same artist, instead of 6 to trigger the end of the round. But old and influential doesn’t always translate to fun, as anyone who has ever read Nitchze will tell you. Trickerion is a heavy game—and an expensive one—that might scare you away with its complex gameplay, but your interest will be sucked right back to it thanks to its parchment-esque motif.

Fits inside the box and as long as you've had some experience with the game this should include everything you need to remember to set up and teach the game. Despite giving the sellers a greater share of the profit for each painting, you’re still ahead in overall profit, putting you in the lead. The winner is the person with most money including after selling in the auctions, as well as the value of cards purchased in auction rounds, plus any cash in hand at the end of the game. Playing the painting with the right type of auction, stacking of double auctions, as well as their timing, is what keeps the experienced players on their toes.By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform.
