Modern Art has four types of auctions: open, closed, one-time, and fixed-price. The game’s theme and mechanic are firmly established as auctions. The game emphasizes player interaction, and the learning curve is in understanding each auction type and determining the best value in each auction. Each player is dealt a hand of cards, which represent works of art that the player may offer for sale. Players then take turns putting these cards up for auction. There are several auction formats; the one used is determined by the card offered for sale. 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. Modern Art, as an auction game, is all about buying and selling by means of auctions. It is simple to teach and play and takes about 10-15 minutes.

Modern Art Review | Zatu Games UK

Two heads are better than one and that adage holds true in Modern Art where two heads can better manipulate the market than one. The idea behind forming an alliance is simple: with all the market manipulation that goes on in a game of Modern Art, you want someone on your team who has an interest in manipulating the value of the paintings from the same painter you want to manipulate. A potent Manuel Carvalho alliance. The term “classic” gets thrown around liberally in board gaming and it’s easy to be cynical in these days of re-released, overproduced deluxe editions and definitive collections. But “Modern Art”, from prolific designer Reiner Knizia, is definitely a contender for the title, both due to its age- it was released three decades ago- and how highly it is regarded by people within the hobby.

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. This means that while individual players have some control over their fate, ultimately it is the group who dictates which painters are valuable; so the game is as often about knowing when to hold on to paintings in your hand or when to sell them on the cheap to secure higher prices for later. And as with all Auction games, it is about playing the other players as well as the cards- trying to entice them into bidding wars on the works of art you offer for sale while scaring them off the pieces you want to keep for yourself… but not being too obvious about it! Players can make a lot of money for the paintings they put up for auction from their hand, but the real profit will be in ensuring the cards you won are worth something in the end.

How the Game Looks: Truth Beauty and CardboardSo yes, there is a lot to Modern Art. There are a ton of wrenches you can throw into the system and a lot of manipulating you can do. Do those well and you’ll be in a very good spot to win. The logical next question is what levers you have at your disposal to clear up the uncertainty and tilt the field in your favor? Here are three tips that I think are worth using. Understand your market positioning and market power. 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. In each of the four rounds of Modern Art, players will offer up paintings in turn and bid on their cards until one artist has had five pieces of art put up for sale. At this point, the round ends with the fifth work of art unsold and the Artists are then ranked according to the number of their paintings offered for auction this round. The three most popular are then allocated prices for their individual paintings, with players receiving thirty, twenty or ten dollars for their paintings respectively. A double auction can drastically alter the state of the game and allow players to catch up. Players must reassess their situation to ensure they finish the round in time favorable situation.
