Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed25b8a163.72999780.jpg[/img] You are a painter competing in a prestigious art festival! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerOver the course of the game, you will collect transparent *Art Cards* and layer them over each other to create paintings. Depending on which cards you choose and the order in which you place them, you will reveal or cover *icons* that trigger various scoring conditions. When all players have completed 3 paintings, the game ends. [green]The player with the most points wins Best In Show![/green]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Nekonyancer[blue]On your turn, you can perform one of two possible actions:[/blue] *- Take an Art Card.* *- Complete a painting.* We'll start with taking Art Cards!3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerAs you can see, there are *five* available Art Cards, and we can choose *one* of them. The one on the far left is *free.* If we pick one of the other cards, we'll have to place an [blue]*Inspiration Token*[/blue][img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed25d2e6a8.48794149.jpg[/img] on each card to the left of it!7canvas-art-card-47-front000
NekonyancerEach player starts the game with four Inspiration Tokens, as you can see [red]*here.*[/red]8canvas-counters-11941354000canvas-counters-11941354 1
NekonyancerOoh, there's a dolphin on this card! Everyone likes dolphins, right? Let's take it. Since this is the *second* card in the display, it will cost us [blue]1 Inspiration Token.[/blue] *Select this card. Then click on [blue]"Confirm"[/blue] at the top!*9canvas-art-card-59-front010
NekonyancerWhen we picked the card, all the cards to the right were *shifted over.* Then a new card was dealt from the deck. Now it's our opponent's turn. If they pick the card on the far left, they'll pick up the [blue]*Inspiration Token*[/blue] along with it!1canvas-art-card-47-front64b72b3f272c900
NekonyancerWell, shoot. They took the card and the token. [blue]So what do these cards do, anyway?[/blue]1canvas-art-card-41-front64b72b5e672c100
NekonyancerWell, each Art Card is mostly *transparent* so they can be *layered* over each other later. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed25eea043.26627507.jpg[/img] [red]Neat, huh?[/red]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64b72b5e672c100
NekonyancerThere are two *Color Swatches* along the bottom of each card, but the important part is the *Element Icons* on each swatch! [blue]There are four different icons:[/blue] [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed261537a1.77758777.jpg[/img]3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64b72b5e672c100
NekonyancerWhen three cards are combined into a painting, the visible icons on it are assessed according to four different *scoring conditions.* If we meet these conditions, we'll gain *ribbons!* For example, we'll gain a [red]*Movement ribbon*[/red] if our painting has three matching icons in a row! [green][tip] You can see more details about each condition if you click on them![/green]4canvas-scoring-card-1-front64b72b5e672c100
NekonyancerIf you *scroll down,* you can examine the cards in your hand. Hmm... if we want to win a [red]*Movement ribbon*[/red] (three matching icons on adjacent swatches), which Art Card should we take next to go with our Dolphin card?5canvas-scoring-card-1-front64b72b5e672c101
Nekonyancer*This one!* Once the cards are layered together, they'll have three texture icons[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed263e0396.10973142.jpg[/img] in a row! *Take the card!*6canvas-art-card-41-front64b72b5e672c110
NekonyancerEarlier, I said the paintings are *mostly* transparent; the *swatches and icons* are obviously *not,* and can cover each other up when they cards are layered together. We can layer them in any order we want.1canvas-art-card-59-front64b72b9880f2700
NekonyancerTake a look at the [green]*Consistency*[/green] scoring condition. Hmm... our finished painting should have *6 visible icons.* Think carefully. Six visible icons. Icons can cover each other up. [red]Which card should we take from the display to complete our painting?[/red]2canvas-scoring-card-6-front64b72b9880f2700
Nekonyancer[red]This one![/red] The one with a vase of dying flowers! Our first two cards already meet the six-icon requirement. The icons on the vase card are in positions that can be covered up by our other cards. *Take the card!*3canvas-art-card-50-front64b72b9880f2710
NekonyancerWe have three cards in our hand now, so we can perform the second possible turn action: *completing a painting!* First, we need to bring up our Painting Tool. *Click on [blue]"Show/Hide Complete Painting Tool"[/blue] at the top, Then on "Continue" in the corner of this box.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64b72bacd47cd00toggleCompletePaintingTool 7
NekonyancerAlright! This is where we can layer our three cards together. The card on the left is a *background card.* It doesn't do anything - it's just to make our painting look nice. If we want, we can switch to a different background by clicking on [red]*this button.*[/red]2canvas-background-card-1-front64b72bacd47cd00change-background-button 6
NekonyancerNow for our *Art Cards.* Hmm... we want the icons on *this card* (the one with a vase of dying flowers) to be hidden under the others, so we should put this one down first. *Click on it, then continue to the next box.*3canvas-art-card-50-front64b72bacd47cd00
NekonyancerNow for our other two cards... *Click on the Dolphin card, then the Sushi card. Then continue to the next box.*4canvas-art-card-59-front64b72bacd47cd00
NekonyancerWe're ready! *Click on [red]Complete Painting![/red]*5chooseActionCompletePainting64b72bacd47cd10chooseActionCompletePainting 6
Nekonyancer*Excellent!* Our painting scored... - 1 [red]*Movement*[/red] ribbon because it has 3 texture[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed265b4ab9.82876504.jpg[/img] icons in a row... - 1 [green]*Consistency*[/green] ribbon because it has exactly 6 icons... 1canvas-scoring-card-1-front64b72bd7141b800
Nekonyancer- 0 [blue]*Variety*[/blue] ribbons because it lacks a Hue[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed2678e768.75707115.jpg[/img] icon... - 2 [blue]*Proximity*[/blue] ribbons because it has two sets of adjacent texture[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed26975b90.52057060.jpg[/img] and tone[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed26aee4e8.83923018.jpg[/img] icons!2canvas-scoring-card-2-front64b72bd7141b800
NekonyancerIf you scroll down, you'll see that our finished painting has a 🤍 button under it. If you click on it, you can share your creation with all your friends!3canvas-art-card-1-front64b72bd7141b801
NekonyancerThere's actually one more scoring category - *Silver bonus ribbons.* To get silver ribbons, we'll have to incorporate Art Cards with Silver Bonus icons.4canvas-scoring-card-9-front64b72bd7141b800
NekonyancerFor example, if we used *this* Art Card (the one with two dice) in our next painting, we would gain 1 silver ribbon per texture icon in that painting! [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed26da4c79.53282859.jpg[/img]5canvas-art-card-27-front64b72bd7141b800
NekonyancerWhen we finish our third painting, we'll have to stop playing. We'll skip all our turns after that until all players have completed three paintings. [green]Then we go to scoring![/green]6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64b72bd7141b800
Nekonyancer[blue]We'll score points for each category depending on how many ribbons we have in that category.[/blue] For example, if we have one [green]*Consistency*[/green] ribbon at the end of the game, we'll score 3 points for it. But 3 ribbons would be worth 10! *Silver* ribbons, in contrast, are always worth a flat 2 points. Heh... *contrast*... because art.... nevermind. [green]Whoever has the most points wins![/green]7canvas-scoring-card-6-front64b72bd7141b800
Nekonyancer[blue]*Thank you for playing through this tutorial for Canvas!*[/blue] If you have any questions or comments about the tutorial, feel free to send *Nekonyancer* a message! A big thank you goes out to *jordijansen* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D8archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64b72bd7141b800
