The A.R.T. Project | Cooperative Strategy Board Game | Card Drafting, Zone of Control Game | Coop and Solo Play for Adults and Teens | Ages 12+ | 1-6 Players | 45 Minute Play Time

This is a fun cooperative game. Sturdy and nice game pieces. Good for adults and teens. We play a lot of games, and we looked forward to playing it again to work out our mistakes from the first gameplay.

My game group mostly plays collaborative games because we get far too competitive when we play against each other. So, I'm always on the hunt for fun, collaborative, pretty games. The A.R.T Project fills those boxes easily. It is a very straightforward game: you and/or some of your friends work to retrieve art pieces. You need to take out the people stealing the art, manage supplies to do this and work together to offset losses and gains. There are many moving pieces, but three 30-somethings could play it with a rampaging toddler running around quite easily.The only thing I will say is that I think the team behind it is French (why do the French game makers make the prettiest games?), and a few grammatical issues in the instructions caught my attention, possibly from a translation issue. Thankfully, they don't make the instructions unintelligible or vague, but they do make you double back and reread the sentence and go, "Ah, that's what they meant to say." It's more imprecise English than anything. Again, the instructions are intelligible; there are a few things that a copy editor might have smoothed out, but they are not that big of a deal.

The game is fun and easy to learn. For those that like cooperative games, this is a good addition.

We love this game. We play it often as its replayability is high, as is the fun factor. We like the fact that the came spurs conversation as you try to figure out the best strategies to win. We also like that there are various difficulty levels. We can play an easier version when introducing others to the game or play a more difficult map when seasoned players are at the table. GET THIS GAME!!!

This game is very fun! It is easy to learn, participants work as a team to beat the board of "white-hands". Definitely fosters collaboration, patience and valuing the opinions of others. We play with our 12yr. old son. It has become his "go to" favorite on game night!!

Decent simple game. Replayability is pretty low given the simplicity, which makes this seem overpriced to me. At a lower price point, I'd recommend but not at current price

This is a fun game with a new concept. I liked the game aesthetics and design of the board, box, ans characters.

This game is similar to pandemic in many ways. The game is played on one of the six maps included. Each map alters gameplay and difficulty creating a replayable experience. Also the game has rules to make it harder or easier. In the game you control one of the six agents to recover stolen art by the organization called the white hand. During each turn each player will draw two cards and pkay one (in solo mode you draw three and play two cards) and discard the other. Each card has three sections that needs to be resolved. The first sections takes resoirces from you which are walkie-talkies to unlock assits dice, guns to add +2 to yiur combat roles, gas for movement and hearts of health (hearts are like wild resource you can discard anytime to replace a resource you dont have.) the second tells you where to add white hand agents and the third provide clues for where the art is. If you collect three clues of the same an art crate is placed in the location matching the clue icons. Then you can move, fight white hand agents on your location and or pick up art. Each art you pick makes assit dice cheaper but white hand agents stronger.You must defeat agents or risk losing the city if you have 5 or more agents in one city at the end of the turn.What i like-easy game play- entretaining and similar to pandemic- low table space- easy set up- clear rules- variability in the mapsWhat i dont like- characters dont have any differentiation aside from their color. They are all the same.- hard and somewhat luck based as resources are limited to the luck of the draw and combat is governed by dice rolls that can be rerolled by discarding clues.- you can lose at the begining specially solo if you dont have resources and are forced to discard hearts.Overall it was a fun experience and engaging. A filler game but also a good gateway game. A somewhat sinplified pandemic with more map options and each map brings some extra rules amd set up that keeps it interesting. Also some campaign rules to play each map back to back. The only big issue i see is price. At the same level of pandemic specially pandemic starwars or pandemic word of warcraft not sure many will jump in on this.
