An atmospheric family game set in the world of Victorian England. The Badger buys a rare portrait by DaVinci for his collection. Sounds weird? Not at all! Try yourself as a famous gallerist: buy valuable relics, hold exhibitions, participate in auctions and try to achieve greater success that your competitors. Interesting concept of engine building: play wisely as not only bought relics matter but also the moment of placing them in your manor. Dynamic pricing: market will react on your actions whenever you buy or sell things. Variable difficulty of the game: easy mode - for beginners, hard mode - for more experienced players. —description from publisher
