A World of Beautiful Colors comes alive as players choose commission cards picturing 34 of the finest European art works of the past six centuries. Players score their commissions by mixing primary colors through clever tile placement and recreating the palette of colors used by the masters. Explore the paintings, palettes and pasts of the artists in this unique and challenging family game. While placing hexagonal pieces to gain palette (color) cards, players learn the different color combinations that produce the many hues of an artist’s palette... all listed on the Player Reference Card. Players also learn to recognize many great artists and their works as they complete commissions.Contents of Pastiche: 8 Easels to hold players’ commission cards Game Board 131 Palette Cards 54 Palette Hexes & 1 Three-Hex Starting Piece 34 Commission Cards reproduced from the Bridgeman Art Library 4 Player Reference Cards Rulebook in 5 languages (English, German, French, Italian, and Dutch) “Pastiche…is stripped down to the core of art creation: get colors, mix colors, paint. The game comes across as both highly abstract and deeply thematic.” ~~ Eric Martin on BGG News “The game components in Pastiche are amazing. Great quality from the famous art works on the canvas cards, to the rest of the game.” ~~ ghostbusterbob on BGG.com “Pastiche helps enhance art appreciation… you get to enjoy and admire some great paintings while you're playing!
