Modern Art Abstract Board Game

Modern art is a great game with excellent production value. For those unfamiliar with the game, players take turns playing cards which depict pieces of art from 5 different artists, and then the played cards are auctioned via various auction styles. After the art is auctioned off, their value is determined, and players receive money (points) for the value of their art collection. The mechanics in this game are very thoughtful, and there is good room for banter and table talk, for those who like to have fun with that. The art in the cards is vibrant, and inspired; each artist in the game -although they were artists that I'd never heard of- has a very unique style. My main criticism of this game is that it tends to play longer than the box would indicate, but I've never minded that too much since we've always had fun the entire time. This is a great game for casual and seasoned gamers alike!

Really fun interactive game based on art and economics. Get into the role of an actioneer and you will have a blast.

Great game!!

This game does something that no other game does.

Fun for different skill levels

This is a game from renowned designer Reiner Knizia that has withstood the test of time. The reviews here and online (e.g., YouTube, Board Game Geek, etc.) are generally accurate. The production values are good. There is, however, a caveat. If you are thinking of sleeving your cards to protect them from wear and tear, the publisher's recommendation on the back of the box (i.e., Gamegenic "Sand" series in matte) will NOT fit the cards; the sleeves are too tight. It is very difficult to slip the cards inside, and if you do by chance manage, the cards will pucker because the fit is too snug. Don't waste a $10 purchase on them.

Just a fantastic game. And this new edition is really terrific with respect to the look and the components. Probably the very best value I've had in a game purchase in a long time. Great game. Great edition. Very good price.

I have enjoyed this game since my first introduction in 2014. It's a solid and easy to explain 3 to 5 player auction game. At the time it was out of print and 2 versions existed on the used market. Due to rarity it was hard to acquire. This edition features great, actual modern art with a gorgeous portfolio and bio in the rule book of each included artist. The box is larger than prior versions however it's not oversized if you store bookwise. It fits in just fine with my collection. I like that the cards are a larger format, Dixit sized, to support the real art that is provided.

Ein ganz wunderbares Spiel, sorgt jedesmal für eine tolle Stimmung Wer auf auktionsspiele steht, kann es ruhig und getrost kaufen. Das Regelwerk ist auf englisch aber das Spiel an sich hat meiner Meinung nach keine Englischkenntnisse nötig.

Gioco bellissimo@

Gran juego y divertido para todos, si consigue recrear la sensación de competir en una subasta. Recomiendo imprimir unas tarjetas de ayuda para facilitar la subasta. Al enmicar las tarjetas cabe perfectamente dentro de la caja

Essa versão está melhor que a nacional. Vem com martelo de madeira e as fichas de pontos são fichas e não token de papelão. Ainda vem com um insert funcional

A lot of fun. Like it.
