For decades, the art forger Belratti has used his extraordinary talent to paint artworks in the style of others. He is able to fool the art world and adopt the artistic signature of every painter. Today he sees another opportunity to smuggle his fakes into the Modern Art Museum, as the director Dr. Katz would like to add two more rooms.

To fill these rooms, she is searching for suitable artwork and the painter, Owl, reckons he can provide them.

But watch out! Belratti will try to sneak his masterful forgeries in too. Whether he manages to outwit Dr Katz and Owl is entirely up to you!

You are buying artwork for your museum, always trying to meet the current trends and finding genuine art from your associates. But the famous Belratti is trying to cheat his own fake paintings into your collection.

In Belratti, players are split into two roles — buyers and painters — and are playing against the game. The game presents two cards as topics for which the buyers need to buy paintings. They ask for a certain number of cards, and the painters have to collectively meet this target number.

The painters select cards from their hands they think will fit the most to one of the topics. Then additional cards are added as Belratti's fakes. All cards are shuffled upside down, then flipped up. The buyers then have to select all the cards from the painters, not the fake cards by Belratti.

The roles change after each round. If too many fakes are bought, the players lose.

(The name of the game is obvioulsy derived from the name of the German art forger W. Beltracchi)
