Who it's for

Pairs who enjoy quiet, tactical card duels with an intellectual theme and minimal randomness.

Not for you if…

Skip if you want a game for more than two, or if you prefer games with dice or luck rather than pure hand management.

Vibe's take

Quiet and tense in a very cerebral way β€” each play is a small argument, and the real drama is reading exactly when to commit versus hold back.

About this game

A two-player card game about art debates, inspired by the real-life clash between Van Gogh and Gauguin. Players trade claims about what matters most in art, playing or discarding cards to outlast each other and empty their hand first.
