| Historical context | Rewards: gains of pictures Forfeits: failure to gain pictures No. of Players: 3 to6 Equipment required: 6 markers, Identification cards, value cards , picture cards and play money Rules: Your favourite Rembrandt is up for auction and you are bidding for it against a dazzling array of eccentric art speculators. Baron von Oberlitzer, the german industrialist signals a bid of £500,000; V. Elton Whatehall raises it to £750,000. Should you go even higher? What if it is a worthless forgery? You must decide quickly, but you'll never know for sure unless you outbid the competition. Keen observation, steady nerves and a little luck make the difference in MASTER PIECE, an exciting suspenseful trip into the elite world of the international art auction. If you like you may adopt the role of one of the six colourful characters who might attend such an auction. Their pictures and profiles are printed on special cards. So now you're ready to play. The winner is the player who, at the end of the game, has acquired the largest fortune in paintings and cash. Good Luck.! PREPARATION Place the board in the centre of the play area. Each player selects a playing piece which he places on any space on the circular track. (Instructions on such places are not obeyed at the start). Shuffle and place the value cards in a pile face down on the playing board. Shuffle and place the painting cards face up in a pile next to the value cards. Select one player to be the banker. He gives each player, including himself, £1,500,000 and places the balance of the cash in a convenient location. Each player in turn beginning with the banker, draws one painting and one value card from the piles on the board. The value card is clipped to the back of the painting so that its value is hidden and only the owner of the painting may look at it. All paintings are displayed face-up in from of their respective owners. For the rest of the rules see the copies in the Games folders. Rules placement: booklet |
