Description

Artful is a card game about collecting, curating, and trading artworks by iconic and breakthrough artists. Build the most prestigious collection and lock it down before your rivals steal away your most valuable pieces. 01 | Bid for Artworks - Compete in auctions to acquire new pieces for your collection. Every round matters, and even the most modest opening bid has a chance. 02 | Read the Market -News Cards impact your artworks in different ways. Most will drive up their value. But beware, some stories may call your collection's authenticity into question… 03 | Trade and Deceive - Swap artworks with other players, whether they like it or not. Bluff, flatter, and misdirect to rid yourself of dubious pieces and bag a masterpiece or two. 04 | Secure Your Collection - Lock away your strongest pieces to protect them from other players. But be careful, because once in your vault, their value can no longer increase. 05 | Build the Most Valuable Collection - When the game ends, the true value of each painting is revealed. Did you invest with your head or your heart? —description from the designer
