Next up in the Modern Art repertoire is the requirement to price pictures correctly. It is no good buying in everything in sight as you will not only run out of money, but everyone else will spot you for a big payer and milk you accordingly. As a rule, even after several games, players will bid a little too high and it seems far better to sit and accept high cash bids from speculators rather than being a speculator yourself. It is vital to be able to step back from a bid that has gone too high; remembering that the information (in the shape of cards in your hand) is different for each player.

In Modern Art, players compete to gain the most money by buying and selling paintings at auctions and reselling them for profit. The game consists of four rounds--in each, works by up to five Artists will be offered for sale, and auctioned off in various ways. Players take on the roles of art dealers / collectors. It is their decision which artworks to sell, and how to sell them. So, successful players must balance two aims, firstly collecting the best artworks for their own collections, forwarding the careers of those artists from whom they have most to gain--and at the same time, raising as much money as possible by successfully auctioning off those works that don't fit their own strategy, and picking up their own fancies as cheaply as possible.
