Buying and selling paintings is a very lucrative business, at least that's what Hollywood's led us to believe, and that's the premise of this game. Five different artists have produced a bunch of paintings, and it's the player's task to be both the buyer and the seller, hopefully making a profit in both roles. He does this by putting a painting from his hand up for auction each turn. He gets the money if some other player buys it, but must pay the bank if he buys it for himself. After each round, paintings are valued by the number of paintings of that type that were sold. The broker with the most cash after four rounds is the winner.

Part of the Knizia auction trilogy.

Favorite Auction Game

This is one of my favorites games of all time. Celebrates the auction mechanic amazingly with a fun economy based on the artwork. Definitely recommend!

Truly one of the best board games of all time.

Probably the most played game in my collection. Several times I've had friends run out and purchase this game after only their first play. One of the best auction games out there, also one of the most affordable. True bang for the buck.

The coolest most diverse auction game ever designed!

If you love art or auction dynamics, then this is the game for. Here is a reason it keeps getting reprinted. It’s nearly 30 years old and more fun than 99% of games released nowadays. It amazing at 3-5 players and has a unique economic system where money flows back and forth between the players. Probably my most thematic game as well.
