In Avant Carde you want to build a collection of beautiful cubist works of art. Each player starts with a deck of ten cards: 1s and 2s in six mismatched suits and four high-value cards, each in a different suit. Each player draws a hand of seven cards, and then presents the best exhibit by matching suits and numbers, e.g. red 11, red 1, purple 1, purple 13. Each card you play earns you $1, and in turn players can buy cards from the gallery piles: a 2 costs $2, a 3 $3, etc. Once per turn, you can bury a top card in a gallery pile at the bottom of that pile. If you don't spend all your money and don't have a change token yet, 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 remaining in your hand, then draw a hand of seven cards, shuffling your discard pile as necessary.
