The big day has finally arrived! As a representative of a prestigious family of art curators with generations of refined taste, your mission is to acquire the finest pieces at auction. You will create irreverent collections that challenge artistic boundaries, leading to temporary exhibitions in the world's most renowned museums.
But you're not alone in this pursuit! Other prominent families are also vying for deals with artists, galleries, and museums. In this high-stakes world of art collecting, golden opportunities can vanish in the blink of an eye, and only the most decisive curators will prevail.
In Antiques, you take on the role of a museum curator competing to become the most prestigious art gallery owner. Through strategic auction bidding and careful collection assembly, you will create temporary exhibitions in renowned museums and international galleries to showcase exquisite pieces. The game is played in sequential turns around the table until a player completes their required number of temporary museum exhibitions, which is based on the player count. After final scoring, the curator with the most points wins.
