If that is home ruled, then the game would work much better. It would even be fit for an introductory game into the mechanic of market manipulation.

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. 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. The foundation for Modern Art lies in understanding where the money comes from. From there, you’ll need to understand how to calculate profit. To start, money comes to you in one of two ways. The first way is from purchasing pretty paintings and redeeming them for profit. The second way is from selling paintings. The question then becomes how to maximize your take from each of those activities. To do that, we turn to basic accounting, using the concept of cost, revenue, and overall profit in our analysis. 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.

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.

The three most popular are then allocated prices for their individual paintings, with players receiving thirty, twenty or ten dollars for their paintings respectively. Although simplistic, this feels thematic, with the “hottest” artists’ work being valued highest.

By the same token, however, Modern Art also requires a certain amount of buy-in from the players, or it can fall a little flat. If one person isn’t feeling it or just doesn’t get the concept or simply loses interest it can bring the mood down and the rest of the game can be a slog. But in fairness, this is true of many games where social interaction is the main mechanism (for example social deduction games) and at least with Modern Art it isn’t usually a long game, so while not a filler by any means it should take around the hour mark to play for three players. That is not to say that games can’t last much longer but usually, that’s because when the players are carried away by the theme, the auctions become more chaotic, raucous affairs so there are unlikely to be too many complaints.

Consider the game genre and target audience. Certain art styles are more common or expected for different game genres. For example, pixel art for retro platformers or cell-shaded graphics for family-friendly games. Think about what visuals your target players will find appealing. So 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.

What it comes down to is that the more certain you are of a painting’s value, the more you’ll be able to devise an optimal bid according to the Modern Art Mathematical Mastery technique I highlighted earlier.

A multi-faith and contemplation room is available in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4, off room 2 of the Materials and Objects display. This is a designated space for worship and prayer, as well as quiet and reflection. All are welcome to use this room. There are four lifts in the Natalie Bell Building, by the main stairs on each floor. You can reach the lifts from the Turbine Hall. These lifts are being prioritised for people who are not able to use the stairs or escalators 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. 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 Cardboard 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) alliances
