In Classic Art, first released as Members Only, players try to predict how many works of art will be present in five exhibitions. The riskier your predictions, the more you score - but of course only if you are right!
The deck consists of 65 cards, with 13 cards in each of the five categories; eleven of the cards are "positive" and two are "negative". At the beginning of each season, players are dealt a hand of cards (7-11, depending on the number of players) and two cards are placed face up from the deck in their respective exhibits.
In the first round of the season, players can predict how many works of art will be in an exhibition at the end of the current season by placing 1-2 tokens (along with their high risk token) on a prediction space. At each exhibition you can bet on whether the art will be rare (bets 1-4) or not rare (bets 5-8). In each subsequent round, a player must place two cards from his hand in the appropriate exhibits, after which he may make a prediction. If all players have only three cards in hand, they discard one face down and place the other two cards in exhibitions. When a negative card and a positive card appear in an exhibit, remove them.
At the end of a season, players score for correct predictions. The riskier the bet, the higher the payout per token in that successful bet, with players withdrawing points for each exhibition separately.
At the end of a season, tokens for failed bets (except those with high risk) are removed from the game, while tokens for successful bids are returned to the players. If a player has zero or one chip at the end of a season, he gets all his chips back.
A player can score a maximum of 10 points in an exhibition. Continue playing seasons until at the end of a season each exhibition has at least one player who has scored 5 points. The game ends and players count their scores - but tokens in the range of 0-4 in an exhibition are worthless. Whoever scores the most points wins!
