Art and about

Board games are all about living in a land of makebelieve, where we can slide down giant snakes, perform delicate surgery without any medical qualifications, and sink an opponent’s large, armoured ship. Going, Going, Gone! immerses its players in a similarly fantastical world: one where they can afford to buy art for their personal collection. The aim is to travel the world as an art collector, nabbing masterpieces from fairs, auction houses and private sellers, with the winner amassing the most valuable lot. Sure, it’s kind of pretentious, but it also sounds pretty darn fun. If you’d like to pick up a Jeff Koons of your own, stop by laurenceking.com with around $45.
