The only way I could recommend Modern Art the Card Game is with a slight caveat: if you reduce the end of round trigger. Home rule the game so that you only need maybe 4 cards of the same artist, instead of 6 to trigger the end of the round. I would like to say it was just that my games were unfortunate with the shuffling, but I have even leant the game to fellow gamers who suffered the same issue.

Modern Art: The Card Game - Chess and Bridge

Anyways, the game. The game was not what I was expecting it to be. I think I already made that clear already. I don’t know why I thought it would be a condensed version of Modern Art, as it would essentially be the same game. And in that vein, what would be the point? What Modern Art the Card Game is, is a simple little market manipulation game. There are no bidding mechanisms in the game at all. A stark contrast to the Modern Art board game itself. This is even more relevant if you put in those double-painting auctions. Timed well, you can bring about chaos and capture more value from an auction than you otherwise would. Develop (informal) alliancesOnce around the auction: When this type of painting is auctioned, beginning from the player to the left of the auctioneer each player gets to bid once and only once either the player has to bid or pass. The following bids must be higher than the previous bid. the winning bid the auctioneer has two options: either sell to the highest bidder or buy the painting themselves by paying the highest bid amount to the bank. Count – 10 in a 3-player game, 9 in a 4-player game, and 8 each in a 5-player game and the remaining cards are left face down for future rounds.

Modern Art - THE BOARD GAME KINGDOM

There are 5 different artist/colours in the game. And two of them are yellow. WHY!? There are so many colours they could have chosen that are different from each other. “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Thomas Merton If that is home ruled, then the game would work much better. It would even be fit for an introductory game into the mechanic of market manipulation. I just talked to you about using your hand as information to help guide you on how hard to bid. If your opponents are smart, they’ll do the exact same thing. In light of that, pay attention to what paintings other players are bidding on and how much. You can use that information to figure out what paintings your opponents might have in their hands and how they might be valuing a given artist. Double Auction: In this scenario, it allows the auctioneer to sell 2 paintings at the same time. The second painting will determine the the type of auction that will be followed, and the price set is for both the paintings. The foundation for Modern Art lies in understanding where the money comes from. From there, you’ll need to understand how to calculate profit. To start, money comes to you in one of two ways. The first way is from purchasing pretty paintings and redeeming them for profit. The second way is from selling paintings. The question then becomes how to maximize your take from each of those activities. To do that, we turn to basic accounting, using the concept of cost, revenue, and overall profit in our analysis.Modern Art, like all Auction games, is heavily reliant on the above-table atmosphere created by the players. The strategy and tactics lie mainly in how players will react and interact with each other over the course of the four rounds, and the most successful player is likely to be the one who understands their opponents and can manipulate the situation to their advantage, rather than in other games where the cards themselves may have specific powers, combos or synergies that one can learn over time. This means that the experience of playing the game will vary wildly depending on who you are with and the level of familiarity players have with auction games generally. The game consists of four rounds. Cards are auctioned off in each round, the number of paintings sold in each round determines the value of each artist at the end of the round.
