Play an art lover who is given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: To attend a series of private sales where you
have the chance to buy masterpieces by 20 of the world's greatest artists including Monet, Matisse, Rembrandt,
& van Gogh.
There are only two problems: You have no money and the private sales you're attending would just as soon sell
you a master fake as a masterpiece! Luckily, you have help from a rich friend with inside information. Coupled
with your developing eye for art, you try to corner the art market. Along the way you get to learn about some
of the world's most acclaimed painters while looking at some of their most exquisite works of art.

Gear Diary Review : by Judie Hughes I can totally see where playing a game like this would sharpen someone’s
recognition and remembrance skills; I feel like it was already working its magic
on me in the few hours I played. As a result, I would recommend it to anyone
that wants to strengthen their memory functions…but that’s not the only reason I
would suggest people try this game. Quite simply put, it was
fun. Having fun while strengthening your mind is a worthy way
to waste time playing a game. Read more of this review...
One person has commented so far. 1. Fun and smartMrs. J. Drexel, UnregisteredI love this game! My husband and I have played it several times and have enjoyed it each time. It's great for building up memory skills, but I've learned quite a bit about art history as well. |
