Reiner Knizia’s classic high-stakes art auction game, Modern Art, gets a modern makeover. You control a world-class museum and hope to make a pretty penny by buying and selling masterpieces of modern art.

Over the course of four rounds, each player will get a chance to auction off paintings. The more popular the artist, the more money you can make on a sale. There are five different types of auctions to compete in, and they all require you to have a different skill set. The winner will be the one who has earned the most money for their museum. Having good taste is only half the battle. You need to approach each sale with a cutthroat attitude if you want to walk away the winner.
