Pastiche

An Educational and Renaissance game for 2–4 players, of 45–60 min and of medium complexity. It plays with hand management, tile placement and open drafting. Recommended from age 10. The BoardGameGeek community likes it best with 2 players.

A world of beautiful colors comes alive in Pastiche 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 who created these works. Explore the paintings, palettes, and pasts of the artists in this unique and challenging game for the whole family. While placing hexagonal pieces to gain palette (color) cards, players become familiar with 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. An "International Edition" of Pastiche was released in late 2011.
