Impressionists for homeschooling
I purchased this game to familiarize my son with some artists we were studying for art in it homeschool program at home. It was perfect. It served its purpose well and it's a fun game to play. It is simple enough to play with younger children, but complicated enough for use of strategy for the older kids. The artists featured are van Gogh, Vermeer, Dega, Monet, and Renoir. If you are studying the impressions, this is a great game to buy.

Quick and Simple
I am writing this review to offset the previous unfair review.This game is the 9th game of the Gryphon Games bookshelf series and is based on the classic board game Modern Art.Masters Gallery is a very simple game to play where every player starts off with 13 cards in hand and players take turns placing cards in front of them. Once a certain color reaches 6 (5 for 2 player) amongst every one the round ends. The players then place the point discs (3 points, 2 points, 1 point) from most color cards on the table to 2nd most to 3rd most.Each player scores for the color card they have placed down in front of them that won 1st (3 points) 2nd (2 points) 3rd (1 point) this round. Another round commences and this goes on for a total of 4 rounds.Now that is the very basic rules but it is the core of the game nonetheless. There are also other cards that allow you to place more cards down, but to combat that *difficulty* every one receives an extra card that has simple instructions on how to use these special cards.The cards are extremely durable compared to Dominion and Magic The Gathering. Each card comes printed with paintings from 5 famous painters which make these cards extremely apealing.The game play last from 15-30 min. (faster if some one has a calculator)I personaly find this game enjoyable. Masters Gallery never lasts long enough to feel unwelcome, but there is just enough strategy to make this game entertaining.For example: There are special cards that allow players to place cards face down. At the end of the round players reveal their face down cards which can change the outcome of which color (painting) won that round.For a video review please check out Tom Vasel's review [...]

A Good Redux of a Discontinued Game - "Modern Art: The Card Game"
Great redux of a discontinued game. The previous name was "Modern Art: The Card Game" It includes buying, selling, and strategy to make the best investments, and end up with the most "money."
