Additional Info BoardGameGeek (Images, Videos, Reviews)

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.

Pure fun auction game with beautiful production!

After trying another one of Reiner Knizia's auction classics, Ra, I had to give Modern Art a try. Even though the actual game is over 30 years old, it plays so well with a lot of variety thanks to the different auction types. Plus this recent edition by CMON games comes with a wooden gavel and easel! Highly recommend it if you like auction games.

A great step up in complexity from my favourite auction game For Sale.

Super interesting auction game, as the value of paintings is always changing. You have to adjust to how the table is bidding and need to figure out which paintings everyone thinks are valuable. In that way, it perfectly replicates the popular art world. What artist is hot right now?
