It is unusual to get two versions released of the same game, but that is what has happened with Master's Gallery and Modern Art: The card Game. You can choose whether you prefer the classic artworks depicted in Masters Gallery or the fun artwork of Modern Art.
In Masters Gallery, the players are art critics and gallery owners. All have their own favorite artist in this pantheon of greats—or at least they do until the game begins. Tastes and opinions about each artist’s value change constantly in the world of Old Masters art. No one has more influence on those values than the players in this game. Which player will exert the most influence? Who will best anticipate these changing tastes and opinions, and thus assemble the highest-valued collection of these masterpieces?
The cards in this game feature 30 of the most beautiful pieces of art ever created by Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Degas and Vermeer. Over the course of four rounds, players use these cards to establish the relative value of each artist’s body of work. Unique mechanics and ingenious design make the gameplay unpredictable and even more fun every time you play. Revel in the beauty of Old Masters art, while enjoying the intriguing game of Masters Gallery.
Remember those unknown, starving, but up-and-coming artists from the early nineties – Lite Metal, Yoko, Christin P., Karl Glitter and Krypto?

Today’s treasure is tomorrow’s trash, and no one has more influence on the artists’ values than the players in this game.
