Each player starts with a deck of ten so-so cards: 1s and 2s in six colors that don't match and four high-value cards, each in a different color. Each player draws a hand of seven cards, then puts on the best exhibition possible by matching colors and numbers, e.g. red 11, red 1, purple 1, purple 13.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach card you play earns you $1, and in turn players can buy cards from the gallery stacks: a 2 costs $2, a 3 $3, etc. Once per turn, you can bury a top card in a gallery stack on the bottom of that stack. If you don't spend all of your money and don't already have a change token, take a change token from the bank; it's worth $1 when you decide to spend it. End your turn by discarding all played cards and cards still in hand, then draw a hand of seven cards, shuffling your discard pile when necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSix patrons numbered 2-7 are in play, and they give cards additional powers. If you played the most 2s, for example, you have an extra $1 to spend; if you played a 3, you can trash a card from your hand or played area; when you play a 4, you can change either its color or number. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAvant Carde\u003c\/em\u003e includes multiple sets of patrons, and you can use the cards from a single set or mix them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhy are you building this collection? To gain awards! If you earn at least $6, you gain an award, and higher amounts net you more awards. Earning $11 is worth four awards, and while you might wonder how you can earn $11, a 7 patron lets you draw additional cards on a turn and a 5 patron lets you earn an extra $1 for each 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen the deck of awards runs out, whoever has collected the most awards wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PSi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407643001037,"sku":"976506","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/9705\/3645\/files\/gamers-guild-az-avant-carde-pre-order-gts-51993787269325.webp?v=1748565226","url":"https:\/\/www.gamersguildusa.com\/en-ca\/products\/avant-carde","provider":"Gamers Guild AZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
