## Description

When you run a museum, you decide what’s beautiful! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in the high-stakes world of fine art auctions, there's nothing more beautiful than making a buck. In modern art, players take on the role of curators, buying and selling paintings for their museum. Over the course of four rounds, they take part in a number of auctions, trying to get the best value for the pieces in their collection. Whoever makes the most money wins the game (and keeps their job).

Review: Great Game for Casual Through Seasoned Gamers - Modern art is a great game with excellent production value. For those unfamiliar with the game, players take turns playing cards which depict pieces of art from 5 different artists, and then the played cards are auctioned via various auction styles. After the art is auctioned off, their value is determined, and players receive money (points) for the value of their art collection. The mechanics in this game are very thoughtful, and there is good room for banter and table talk, for those who like to have fun with that. The art in the cards is vibrant, and inspired; each artist in the game -although they were artists that I'd never heard of- has a very unique style. My main criticism of this game is that it tends to play longer than the box would indicate, but I've never minded that too much since we've always had fun the entire time. This is a great game for casual and seasoned gamers alike!
Review: Great fun - Really fun interactive game based on art and economics. Get into the role of an actioneer and you will have a blast.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I purchase this from Amazon, will it come with the new wooden gavel?**
A: yes, it does come with a wooden gavel in this version (2019). I have received the wood gavel along with others. If you order it here you will revive the wood gavel. To avoid confusion the people who haven't received it like rick (who answered the question here) purchased it prior to 2019. So if the wood gavel was the deal breaker than I suggest purchasing the game right now on discount and receiving it with the wood gavel as it's a fabulous acution game. 
Thank you,

**Q: Does the edition shipped in 2021 contain a wooden gavel?**
A: I bought in November 2021 and it came with the wooden gavel
