Ars Universalis is a fun game for all ages which develops ingenuity, mental arithmetic, spatial awareness and memory while giving an overview of the life and work of the different artists included. Your ability to handle your finances, choose historical figures to support and solve brain teasers will determine your march towards victory!

Players take the role of avid patrons of the arts seeking to gain prestige through their support of the best artists and scientists that history has to offer. In each game you choose to nurture the development of 60 of the greatest thinkers and artists spanning three distinct time periods ( from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century) and covering fields as diverse as literature, the Arts and Science.

The originality of the game lies in the way each project is achieved. There are several types of puzzles which represent the creative process and complexity of the work of each of the different characters. In each project players gain Artistic Prestige points and increase their personal fortunes enabling them to invest in even more projects. At the end of the game, the player who has obtained the highest number of Artistic Prestige points will be crowned the winner!
