In an economy where 3 artists try to make money off their art:
• 3 Players start with 5 money chunks + 3 money chunks in the economy (center of the table)
• Each turn, players can choose to produce and market Experimental (display a fist) or Commercial (display an open hand) art during their turn.
• Each turn, all players spend a money chunk on their art supplies (put 1 token in the center of the table).

• If one artist creates work in a different genre from the other two artists, they are able to sell it, because it’s a unique piece (gain 3 tokens from economy).
• If all artists make commercial art, the artist with the most money sways the economy and promotes whichever art they choose, proposing a way to divide up the economy’s available money, but can only do so with the approval of the community (at least one other player).
• If all artists make experimental art, everyone loses and no one is able to sell their art. No one makes any money this turn.

• When one artist runs out of money, they are disheartened and leave the industry, and the artist with the most money has less competition and is able to make money continuously. They win.

The show must go on.
