Product Information

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. 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 is also distinguished by the fact that it was created in the twentieth century. After phases, the leader board provides a sense of price discovery. This is beneficial. Beginners have a frame of reference and do not feel oblivious to the situation. Approximations of the painting’s and artists’ values Of course, there is the actual The auction can sell for much less or much more than the stated value. The game’s enjoyable aspect! Discerning pricing can be difficult because of all of the unknown information out there. Thankfully, you have one source of information you can rely on: your hand. Look at your hand and use that as a guidepost for how hard you can bid on a painting during any given auction. And also use that to see when others might be undervaluing a painting. 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

Given that this is a game about Modern Art, it is no surprise that the cards are the star of the show here. Each card represents a real-life work of art and how appealing they are to you aesthetically will be a matter of personal taste, but the chances are that anyone with a passing interest in painting will find something they like in here. The other components are good quality and in keeping with the theme. The game is played in four rounds. In the second, third, and fourth rounds the value of paintings at the end of a round depends not just on how the artist did in that round, but carry over from previous rounds as well. Players are dealt additional cards in the second and third (but not fourth) rounds. 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. 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. 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) alliancesEach 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.

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. With the right game group, then, Modern Art is every bit the classic that its reputation suggests and for players who enjoy their games with a large helping of bluff, bluster and inter-player sparring it will be a perfect lightweight experience. For me, though, Modern Art needs a higher player count than I can usually muster, and players who relish a more social rather than cerebral experience, to really get the most from the game.

Modern Art

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. 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. 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.
