Core Actions include:
- Discover Artists → Find new talent and commission their first works.
- Buy & Exhibit Art → Acquire pieces and display them in your gallery.
- Promote Artists → Increase an artist’s fame, boosting the value of their works.
- Sell Art → Fulfill contracts and earn money/prestige.
- Hire Assistants → Expand your influence and efficiency.
- International Market → Gain reputation tiles and bid on globally renowned art.
Game End & Scoring:
The game ends after a set number of tickets and contracts are exhausted. Players score points from:
- Exhibited and sold artworks
- Artist reputation and fame
- Visitor influence in their gallery
- Achieved goals and contracts
The player with the most prestige (victory points) becomes the ultimate Gallerist.
