Competitive AND fun!

"Art Society combines the competitive nature of a strategy game with the lively energy of a party game. The excitement of bidding on and trading artwork is thrilling and can get quite spirited. One of the most enjoyable aspects is the creative approach the game designers took in reimagining real-life famous artworks."

A new game night favorite!

"Tile placement and puzzle games are not usually my husband's favorites. I am so glad we tried Art Society. We both loved it. The bidding and scoring aspects provide a lot of strategy to what is otherwise a very simple game: bid on paintings, place them on your wall, score points. We played a second time immediately and have since shared it with family and friends. It's just the right amount of competitive. The art and component quality are terrific. Art Society is a home run."

A Picture Perfect Game

"You may play as an art connoisseur, but you don’t need to be one in order to enjoy the gameplay of Art Society! This game is fun and engaging, with simple instructions that makes it easy to teach to friends and family. Taking on the role as an art collector, you must be quick to outbid the competition on various artwork—but be careful not to commit a faux pas with the placement of your pieces! Curate an art collection worthy to hang in an actual museum in this frame-tastic game Art Society."

Game On!

"Fits perfectly in my Art Society tote alongside a bottle of wine for easy transport to a game night with my girlfriends. Now, if I can just get them to follow up our game night with a book club discussion for Michael Finkel's The Art Thief (a must-read for every art lover/true crime fan). . ."
