Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.02. This game is suitable for 1 to 5 players and was published in 2024. It's the Kickstarter Edition of the Avant Carde Card Game by Resonym. It comes with the core game, 5 Metal Change Coins, the Londoners Micro - Expansion, and all unlocked stretch goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. In Avant Carde, your goal is to build a collection of amazing cubist artworks. Each player starts with a deck of ten cards: 1s and 2s in six non - matching colors and four high - value cards, each in a different color. You draw a hand of seven cards and then create the best exhibition by matching colors and numbers. Each card you play earns you $1, and you can buy cards from the gallery stacks according to their value. Once per turn, you can move the top card of a gallery stack to the bottom. If you don't spend all your money and don't have a change token, get one from the bank; it's worth $1 when used. At the end of your turn, discard played and hand cards and draw a new hand of seven, shuffling your discard pile if needed. Six patrons numbered 2 - 7 are in play, giving cards extra powers. For example, playing the most 2s gives you an extra $1, playing a 3 lets you trash a card, and playing a 4 allows you to change its color or number. The game includes multiple sets of patrons, which you can use separately or mix. The aim is to gain awards. Earning at least $6 gets you an award, and more money nets you more. When the award deck runs out, the player with the most awards wins. We're happy to support campaigns to bring you games like Avant Carde. A large part of your spending on this game will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
How to play Avant Carde: First, each player gets a deck of ten cards, including 1s, 2s in six colors and four high - value cards. Draw a hand of seven cards. Try to match colors and numbers to create an exhibition. Every card you play earns you $1. Use this money to buy cards from the gallery stacks. The cost of a card is equal to its number. Once per turn, you can move the top card of a gallery stack to the bottom. If you have unspent money and no change token, take one from the bank. At the end of your turn, discard all played and hand cards and draw a new hand of seven. Shuffle your discard pile if needed. The patrons numbered 2 - 7 give cards extra powers. Try to meet the conditions to use these powers. Your goal is to earn awards. Once you earn at least $6, you get an award, and more money means more awards. The game ends when the award deck runs out, and the player with the most awards wins. Note: The paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Keep your cards in a dry and clean place to avoid damage. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth.
