PLAYED FOR YOU

Das Prestel Kunstspiel

Van Gogh tells you to draw

After some years of absence Prestel has returned with a new game, a new edition of their Kinderkunstspiel, this time intended for the whole family and featuring the beautiful and attractive design typical for the company.

At the start of the game each player has the 12 individual parts of a puzzle on the table, face down. The board shows a variety of squares, all featuring original parts of works of art, and a spinner in the middle. This spinner is pushed and when it stops again it shows the number of steps you can move your marker or it shows a square itself, where you then go. If you reach a square showing the painter and his easel, you draw a task card and draw the term on the green side of the card. If it is guessed correctly you and the person who guessed correctly can turn over one puzzle piece. The acrobats indicate the theatre spot, where you must draw a card and perform a pantomime to explain a term on the orange side of the tile; a correct guess again earns a puzzle piece for performer and guesser. On the art spot you take a picture card, look at it very closely and then roll the die to determine a number on the back. If you answer correctly, you turn over a puzzle piece. The two puttos indicate a lucky spot and the devil an unlucky spot; you either turn up or down a puzzle piece. If you are first to turn over all puzzle pieces and complete the puzzle, you win.

This is a very beautiful game and an attractive playful introduction into the world of art and its beauty; 50 picture cards show a cross-section over centuries, with information on artist and work of art; the five puzzles too, make up world-famous paintings.
