Art Society is Barnes & Noble Game of The Year
We couldn’t be more proud… Barnes & Noble announced Art Society as its 2024 Game of the Year!
“We’re so excited to have Art Society as our Game of the Year for 2024,” said Marnie Lawrence, VP of Toys, Games & Gift at Barnes & Noble. “Anyone who has even a passing interest in art will love the thrill of collecting paintings, arranging them and playing host to impress all your art-collecting friends and rivals. It’s such a great time for the competitive crowd!”
Art Society is an art collection game with easy to learn rules for 2 to 4 players. You step in the shoes of an art connoisseur trying to impress your peers by putting together the most fashionable art collection of them all! Bid on the hottest works of art, then arrange them on your drawing room wall into a tastefully curated gallery that’s the envy of the local art scene. But beware! Fashion is fleeting, and trends are difficult to predict. The paintings that you and your fellow collectors do not buy will eventually make their way to the museum, changing the worth of your collection.
“For Art Society, my first board game, to be featured as the Barnes & Noble Game of the year is thrilling,” said Mitch Wallace, Designer. “I hope everyone enjoys playing it as much as I did while creating it. The game has had such a wonderful reception and it’s exciting for more people to make their own impressive art collections in Art Society. I’d like to applaud the Mighty Boards team for their creativity and excellent execution and genuinely thank Barnes & Noble for their support this year.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better partners than Barnes & Noble and Paper Source to introduce Art Society to new audiences,” said David Chircop, CEO of Mighty Boards. “Our shared values make this collaboration a perfect fit. With its bookish aesthetic and tactile appeal, Art Society will feel right at home on the shelves of B&N and Paper Source. From sunny Malta, we’re incredibly proud to see our game reach such esteemed shelves and be part of this exciting journey. Congratulations to Mitch for creating such a gem!”
Barnes & Noble uses their Game of the Month and Game of the Year programs to bring board gamers together with new and exciting offerings with wide appeal. Games, like books, tell stories and allow players to engage with the story on the board and with their fellow players, creating a community environment. Barnes & Noble is proud to present such an appealing array of games, including creative and culturally significant games like Art Society.
