Modigliani is a board game released in 1993 for 2–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Wagstaff & Roy Creative Consultants and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Auction / Bidding, and Roll / Spin and Move.
The International Art Market Game. Try to achieve the most valuable art collection through a combination of buying and selling 42 famous works of art. The board has a circuit of auction houses and galleries. You can earn money if you arrive at a gallery that specializes in an artist whose work you own. You have to be at the right auction house to bid on the art you want, but there are telephone and postal bids and forgeries. The game is nicely packaged with its own wooden gavel.
Modigliani supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Modigliani is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Modigliani for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Modigliani has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
