Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau was an international style of art, decorative art, and architecture that was very popular between 1890 and 1920. The expression means "New Art" in English, and was inspired mainly by natural structures and forms, not only of plants and flowers, but also of their sinuous curves.

Bruxelles 1897 is definitely not the best game for beginners. The box states that you can play them with children above 10 years old, but actually, I'd suggest even older than that. Obviously, you can play with 10-year-olds, but I think it would be very complicated.

Anyway, considering that, if you want to work on your math skills, logic, and strategies, Bruxelles 1897 can be great.

I highly recommend that, if you do play it with beginners, you invest time teaching them and giving them advice. Show them the many ways you can play this game, but also try to get them to appreciate the flavor in it. Otherwise, they'll be lost.

Take this opportunity to teach them some logic skills as well. For instance, you'll have to first get material to then build houses. You have to first get works of arts to then exhibit them or sell them, and so on and so forth. It will be quite a lesson in logic and strategy.

You'll need to use math at all times because you'll need to pay your Architects before you send them out. That is, you'll have to manage your budget and how many Architects you have.

Bruxelles 1897 is a lesson in many subjects, but you have to be present when playing it to appreciate it!

I highly recommend Bruxelles 1897 for your collection!!
