CMON | £29.99 | Bidding/auction | 3-5 players | 60 minutes | Age: 14+ | cmon.com/product/modern-art
Despite being a game about bidding on paintings you’d want to display in a gallery, Reiner Knizia’s Modern Art has become notorious for its various unsightly editions over the last 25 years. CMON’s long-awaited re-issue of the first entry in the designer’s auction trilogy (which also includes Medici and Ra) finally does justice to the game’s hugely entertaining gameplay with a striking set featuring the works of four real-life modern artists displayed on gorgeous oversized cards, putting forward a collection you wouldn’t be ashamed to see framed in your own living room.
