Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
A vibrant workshop. In Artistry, you're a young artist dreaming of making your mark in the Art Nouveau era. Ceramics, glass, textiles, metals, or painting: anything is possible, but you'll have to choose your muse and transform creative chaos into pure beauty.
Materials to shape. Each turn, your artisans go to the market to hunt for material tiles, each with specific shapes. These will be the building blocks of your creations: you'll need to carefully combine them to create the patterns that will make your atelier the most sought-after in the city.
Art calls, prestige grows. Each completed work grants you Renown, prestige points that raise awareness of your workshop, but also new opportunities: new artisans ready to join you or apprentices who become increasingly skilled masters.
Grow together. Artisans evolve with you: from simple apprentices to true masters capable of handling complex and refined forms. Your workshop is not just a workplace, but a hub of talent ready to shine on the pages of art magazines.
The triumph of Art Nouveau. At the end of the game, the Renown points collected will decide who created the most prestigious workshop. Only those who have successfully balanced materials, works, and team growth will become legends. ✨

Artistry – The board game where art becomes strategy
In Artistry, you're not just a player: you're an artist trying to make your mark in the most visionary era ever. Every choice is a brushstroke: gather materials, compose patterns, create works that leave a lasting impression . And as you grow as a craftsman, you transform apprentices into masters, building a studio that shines with inspiration and prestige.
It's an abstraction that exudes pure creativity, where calculation intertwines with aesthetics. Satisfaction isn't just about winning... it's about seeing your workshop transform into a place of wonder.
An abstract board game that combines drafting, collecting, and growth.
Artistry is an abstract, strategic board game published by Dux Somnium Games, designed for 1-4 players with games lasting 30 to 40 minutes. Set in the Art Nouveau era, it combines open drafting and set collection mechanics with a personal progression system: artisans begin as apprentices and, game after game, become masters capable of working with increasingly complex shapes and materials.
Each turn requires precise choices: which material tiles to take, which patterns to compose, when to develop your craftsmen . Victory isn't just a matter of points, but of having built the most prestigious workshop.
An ideal title for those looking for elegant abstracts , with accessible rules but a depth that grows with each game.
We saw some gameplay… and it's a pure strategy workshop 🐸
We followed a gameplay of Artistry , and the impression was clear: every move counts . Nothing is left to chance, and the beauty is seeing how the tiles fit together to create patterns that aren't just dots, but small works of art. We enjoyed the fluid pace, the sense of progression among the artisans, and the game's ability to convey a sense of growth and mastery .
It's one of those titles that combines visual elegance and mental challenge, leaving you wanting to try "another canvas" to discover new strategies.
