Educational art game

Abstract

A card game for educational exposure to selected art topics at apprentice, journeyman, and master levels on each topic, includes a deck of cards for each level of play and for each art topic. Each deck includes an Art Man card and a duplicate set of cards, each including a pictorial representation of a work of art. The cards for play at the apprentice and journeyman levels each also identify of the works represented on them. Play is as follows: The deck is distributed among the players. The dealer tables any and all matching pairs in his hand while reciting the name and origin of each work of art represented, takes one card from the player on his side opposite the progression of play, and similarly tables a pair if one results from this taking. The next player tables any and all matching pairs in his hand while reciting the name and origin of each work of art represented, takes one card from the previous player, and similarly tables a pair if one results from this taking; and so on until all cards showing works of art have been matched and tabled and only the Art Man card remains. The holder of the Art Man card is the loser. A computer version of the game is played in an analogous way.
