Product Description
Remember those unknown, starving, but up-and-coming artists from the early nineties -- Lite Metal, Yoko, Christin P., Karl Glitter and Krypto? You first met them in the now-classic Reiner Knizia game Modern Art. Now, almost 20 years later, they have all found fame and fortune in the art world and their masterpieces are displayed in major galleries around the world. But even with their success, the group's artistic rivalry remains as lively as ever. Whose work sells for the most? Which one has the highest standing in the minds of the art-buying public?
In Modern Art: The Card Game, the players are art critics, collectors and gallery owners. All have their own favorite artist in this pantheon of great or at least they do until the game begins. As it is in art galleries the world over, tastes and opinions change constantly in the world of Modern Art. Today's treasure is tomorrow's trash, and no one has more influence on the artists' values than the players in this game.
Which players will exert the most influence on the art market? Who will be the best at anticipating the quickly-changing tastes and opinions of buyers, and thus assemble the highest-valued collection of these new masters?
Only the most influential collector will come out on top in Modern Art: The Card Game!

Great 2+ player game
Posted by Jeremy Coe on 30th Sep 2009
This is a great little card game that plays well with 2 players all the way up to 5 players. This is like the original Modern Art game, but with the auctions removed. In the original Modern Art game, you were buying/selling art from/to the other players. In this version you just play your "art" in front of you. Once a certain number of cards depicting the same artist has been played the round is over. The game lasts over 4 rounds. There are 5 artists, but only the 3 with the most cards played score in each round. You have to pay attention to what all the other players are playing to maximize your points and try not to help the other players at the same time. This is a great little game that has been getting quite a lot of plays in my house. My only complaint is they don't provide you a mechanism to keep score, you need to use paper and pencil to keep track.
