Art Collector (2019)

About this game

In Art Collector you build up an art collection. Objects can be bought from galleries in four countries, each with their own currency, or sometimes at auction. There are three scoring rounds in which the player with the most distinguished art collection gets the most points. There are six categories of objects (in increasing order of value): old masters, 'de Stijl' (an art movement from the Netherlands), cubism, impressionism, favorite of the public, and Vincent van Gogh. All 54 objects, represented by cards, are actually part of the collection of the Kröller-Müller Museum. Art Collector was developed by 999 Games in collaboration with the Kröller-Müller Museum. —user summary

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
