Art Society review

Art Society is a beautiful and engaging game that I recently had the pleasure of playing. The premise is simple: you're an art connoisseur trying to build the most impressive collection, but the market is constantly changing. This creates a dynamic and strategic gameplay experience that is both fun and challenging.

The artwork in this game is absolutely stunning. I especially appreciated the beautiful illustrations by Giacomo Vichi, Sofia Rossi, Veronica Grassi, Angelica Regni, Doris Shermadhi, and Max Kosek. The quality of the components is also top-notch, with sturdy boards and well-designed inserts.

While the game is easy to learn, there's a surprising amount of depth to the strategy. You need to carefully consider which paintings to acquire, how to arrange them on your wall, and how to adapt to the ever-changing trends. The game is also very replayable, with different strategies emerging each time.

I've played with both my family and friends, and everyone has enjoyed it. It's a great game for casual players and those who want a more challenging experience.

I only have a few minor quibbles. I wish there were more players, and I would love to see an expansion with more art to collect and more intricate rules. But these are minor complaints compared to the overall enjoyment I've had with the game.

Overall, Art Society is a fantastic game that I highly recommend. It's visually appealing, strategically engaging, and a lot of fun. It's definitely a game that I'll be pulling out for game nights for years to come.
