Gallerista
The Game of Art and Auctions
In Gallerista, you'll buy and exhibit famous artworks to attract visitors to your gallery. Compete with other players to acquire the best pieces for the best prices — or prevent your foes from getting cheap wins.
Going Once...
Each round in Gallerista is an auction. An artwork is revealed, and players bid against each other to win it.
$5 million!
8!
15!
24!
$33 million!
Going Twice...
After winning an auction, you can choose to exhibit the artwork. Roll the number of dice shown on the card, and attract that many visitors.
8 Dice
Minimum 8
Average 28
Maximum 48
Going Long...
If you choose not to exhibit, the artwork goes into your gallery basement. When you win an artwork that shares a category with pieces in your basement, you can exhibit them as a collection.
3x
Post-Impressionist Collection
3 cards = 3x multiplier to one card
Going Big...
Exhibiting a collection of artworks in one category draws extra visitors to your exhibition — the more artwork, the bigger the bonus!
Be careful, though — art in the basement is stuck there until you win a matching piece...
Going All In...
Watch out for instant effect cards that add fun twists to the auction mechanics, from submitting secret bids to bidding blind on multiple artworks!
