About Gallery Gambit, from BoardGameGeek:
Gallery Gambit is a 20-minute card game for 2 to 5 players in which rival gallery owners compete to curate the most striking art collection. It is played with a deck of 54 designer playing cards: every card is an original painting, with each suit drawn in one art movement (Hearts are Pop-Art, Spades Cubism, Clubs Fauvism, Diamonds Bauhaus) and each rank sharing a subject, from flower still lifes on the 2s to famous museums on the aces.
Each player has three exhibits of fixed size: two, three and four cards. On a turn you take one action: draft a face-up card from the shared market and play a card into an exhibit, draw blind from the deck and play a card (then refill the market with two more cards), or make a gambit and rearrange cards between two of your exhibits. Exhibits score as sets of the same rank, runs in one suit, plain runs or cards of one suit. The round ends as soon as any player fills all three exhibits, everyone else gets a final turn, and jokers are swapped for cards from an expanded market. Each exhibit then scores on its own and is compared with the matching exhibits of the other players for bonus points. After three rounds the highest total wins.
The cards are a standard 54-card deck, so they also play any traditional card game.
