Description

A trivia and party game focused on art.

Goal
Collecting 8 chips in 6 different colours by answering questions or completing tasks.

Game play
Each player gets a little palette which he/she has to fill with coloured chips. Players take turns rolling the die. The active player moves the red pawn on the board and has to answer a question or complete a task, depending on the space the pawn lands on.

Tasks include:
  • Answering a question from the card
  • True or false? (cards contain statements about artists, techniques or the history of art, and the active player has to guess whether it is true or false)
  • Brainstorming (players have to write down 3 things they associate with a picture)
  • Have fun with art (terms have to be drawn or described verbally while the other players guess)
  • Auction: The active player turns over number cards, trying to get as close to 21 as possible without going over 21.

Correct answers and successfully completed tasks earn the active player a colour chip. He/she can also lose colour chips during the "auction" activity.

The game ends when a player has collected all 8 required colour chips. That player wins the game.
