About the game

What is Art Gallery?

The world-famous Art Gallery is not only home of the most magnificent paintings in the world, but also enjoys the reputation of providing its visitors with first-class and informative tours. Today the preparations for the opening of the new exhibition start: Slip into the role of a tour guide, visit the museum rooms and study the paintings as best you can. Choose the best route through the museum and find on a coherent sequence. Those who succeed in doing this can present their tour to inquisitive tourists at the end and receive commendation and prestige. On your turn, you must perform these actions in order: a) movement: you must play a card from your hand (value 0-8) in front of you to move your pawn through the museum. b) study: you must play another card (value 0-8) face down into your pawn's area, next to the painting. Now it's the next player's turn. After everyone has had 4 turns, complete the dealing phase: Distribute the paintings to the players with the highest total value in each area and place the paintings in front of you. Important: The order of your collected cards may not be changed at any time! End of game & scoring: Sum up the values of the various icons (=tours) on your collected paintings that are lined up "consecutive" one after the other. Add the values of your cards that are still in your hand. The player with the most points is the winner!
