Profile of Masters Gallery Card Game

Profile of Masters Gallery Card Game

Gameplay in Brief:Based on the board game Modern Art (one of my picks for the best auction games), this is an excellent, quick playing card game which is not at all about auctions. Players compete to collect the most valuable works by five classic artists: Degas, Money, Renoir, Van Gogh, and Vermeer.

On each turn, you play a card representing a painting from one of the artists, which increases the value of that artist's work. Some cards also have special powers, which can twist the game in unexpected directions. After four rounds, the player with the most money wins.

Genre:Masters Gallery is a set collection card game. It is also the ninth game in the Gryphon Games Bookshelf Series, which also includes Roll Through the Ages: The Bronze Age, Incan Gold, Money, and For Sale.

Also by Reiner Knizia:Reiner Knizia is one of the most prolific game designers of all time. His other creations include The Lord of the Rings, Lost Cities, Tigris and Euphrates, Through the Desert and Ra.
