How it plays
Build the most valuable gallery by discovering and promoting artists, buying and selling art, attracting visitors, and earning reputation. On your turn, move to a location and take its action, using assistants and sometimes giving displaced rivals a smaller follow-up action. The game ends after enough end conditions trigger; cash, unsold art, reputation, contracts, and completed curator and dealer goals determine the winner.
