Modern Art

Buying and selling paintings can be a very lucrative business. Five different artists have produced a bunch of paintings, and it's the player's task to be both the buyer and the seller, hopefully making a profit in both roles. He does this by putting a painting from his hand up for auction each turn. He gets the money if some other player buys it, but must pay the bank if he buys it for himself. After each round, paintings are valued by the number of paintings of that type that were sold. The broker with the most cash after four rounds is the winner.

Es uno de los mejores juegos de subastas al que he jugado, sencillo rÃ¡pido, uno debe de comprar lo mÃ¡s barato posible y vender lo mÃ¡s caro....

Juego entretenido de subastas de cuadros. Hay varios tipos de subastas que son marcados por las cartas. A cada ronda hay que intentar tener cuadros mas populares (Mas cantidad en mesa) porque serán los que mas cuesten. Es sencillo pero tiene cierta profundidad
