Value board?RankingArtists are ranked by how many of their paintings are on the table this round, most to fewest. Equal counts break by the fixed board order shown here (top beats bottom). The top three score 30 / 20 / 10 and pay out this round. The Value shown is only a snapshot of this moment and will likely change as more paintings come out, and an artist can even fall to $0, which is part of the strategy.

Round 1 of 4
Your turn
A buying and selling game
Welcome to Modern Art
Goal: have the most money when the game ends after 4 rounds.
1On your turn, put one of your paintings up for auction.
2Everyone bids. The highest bidder buys it and pays you.
3Each round, the three best-selling artists pay out. Collect their work to cash in.
+Five auction types decide how each lot sells, including the Double, which pairs two paintings of one artist. The fifth painting of an artist ends the round at once. You draw extra cards in rounds 2 and 3 but none in round 4, and a painting's value builds across rounds.
