Your favourite Rembrandt is up for auction and you are bidding for it against a dazzling array of eccentric art speculators. Should you continue to bid higher? What if it's a worthless forgery? You must decide quickly but you'll never know for sure unless you outbid the competition. Keen observation, steady nerves and a little luck are needed for this exciting trip into the elite world of the international art auction. If you like, you may adopt the role of one of six colourful characters who might attend such an auction. Their pictures and profiles are printed on special cards. So now you're ready to play. The game ends when the last painting and value card are drawn from the board. The winner is the player who at the end of the game has acquired the largest fortune in paintings and cash.

 

A great party game with beautifully illustrated playing board and cards.
