The aim of the game is to buy a complete collection (of real art masterpieces) through auctions and trade between them.

The players read one action card per turn and have one possible purchase per turn. The trading factor is central in the game, and completely free. Both money and pieces of Art can be use as currency.

In Italian, no longer printed, potentially a "must have" for any collector of boardgames involving Art and trade. The human interaction factor makes this game very fast and chaotic, and this is the best side of it.
