About the game
As Museum: Pictura is set in the roaring 20’s, we wanted to bring some of the glamourous soirées of that time into the game! Vernissage does just that. In this expansion, you will be attempting to organise luxurious private parties for only the most illustrious of guests! In order to attract these Very Important Patrons, you’ll need to discard Painting cards, temporarily putting them to one side for your exclusive parties. Delight them with just the right combination of Painting cards, and you’ll convince them to lend their support to your establishment! This support will come in the form of Prestige points at the end of the game, but also other bonuses!
