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.

Cool rule book.

Best auction game

This is one of the purest auction games that I have played. If you enjoy auction games, this is a must!

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.

Kelp: fun but a bit lopsided

My partner and I have played this a couple times from both roles and while it’s fun, it definitely feels like the odds are stacked perhaps a little too heavily against the shark. Because of this, it can be tough to convince people to play as it sort of feels like you already know who is going to win by which character you get. That said, I will still continue to play it for the challenge of trying to win with the shark…it will likely just not feature very heavily in my two player game rotation.

Tous ceux avec qui j'ai joué l'ont adoré!

Pour moi j'ai acheté les boitiers rouge et violet afin de jouer avec plus de personnes et ensuite j'ai acheté le coffret Deluxe pour l'offrir en cadeau.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
