Not the same as the original, but thats OK

I was a little disheartened when I first discovered that this what not the same as the original card game, but as I got more into it I realized this version has more strategy. My friends and I had already discovered that the auction style of the original made it a little broken once everyone figured out the basic strategy. This version has a deeper strategy to it. Still needs a little work. Why not use the variety of art from each artist to add some variety to the cards? Experienced one bug where a season lasted twice as long as it should have (season didnt end at six paintings, but reset the numbers after six and we played until 12 paintings were played by an artist. Needless to say it screwed up the game). A few touch ups and youve got a fine game.
