Masterpiece

Masterpiece is a board game by Parker Brothers, now a brand of Hasbro. Players participate in auctions for famous works of art. It was originally published in 1970 by Parker Brothers, and then published again in 1996. The game is now out-of-print. The game is one in which players have to negotiate with other players to win money. The top value of a painting is $10 million; however, getting the full value for the painting requires some luck in landing on the right square on the board to sell a painting to the bank. On the other hand, however, some pictures are worth nothing and described as a 'forgery'. These can be sold to other players via auctions and will usually result in sales of at least a couple million. All of the paintings featured in the game are on display at the Art Institute of Chicago and include At the Moulin Rouge and Paris Street; Rainy Day. full article at wikipedia
