Creative critters from the Mosaic Forest have gathered at the annual art festival being held at Gallery Grove. The famous Bianca Blanco (well, infamous really, but no one would dare say that within her considerable earshot) is curating a new show at the gallery and only the best pieces will earn the privilege of being displayed in her highly exclusive showcase gala. Do you have what it takes to stand under the critical eyes of Bianco Blanco or will your creative works fall flat? Let the judging begin! In this party-style game, 2 to 6 players draft multi-colored, animal-shaped, meeples to create the most eye-catching mosaics based on the theme chosen by the Curator for that turn. Players secretly receive ribbons from the Curator at the end of each turn, awarding them secret points. Once each player has had a turn as the Curator players flip over their ribbons and the player with the most points wins!
