About this game

Art Society hands you a blank gallery wall and a burning need to look tastefully cultured to your peers. You bid against the table for the hottest paintings of the moment, then arrange your winnings into a wall that has to actually work as a composition, not just a pile of pretty rectangles. The catch is that art fashion shifts constantly, pieces nobody wanted suddenly get shipped to the museum and become worth more, so today's bargain can become tomorrow's regret. It rewards both sharp bidding instincts and a genuine eye for layout, and sixty minutes fly by while you second-guess every purchase.
