History Heroes: ARTISTS - Art History Quiz Card Game for Kids, Adults, Game Night - Family Friendly, fun & educational Party Game About Famous Artists

We’ve been playing all the history hero games as a family and love them but as an art teacher I particularly enjoy this one. Kids build knowledge without even realising!

Christmas is a time for games and 'History Heroes: Artists' is a fun game for the right type of family. It is a simple concept, a set of cards each featuring a different artist. You start at six points and move down to one by offering clues, each slightly easier than the next. For most people you will struggle to get the artist until one or two points, and in my case not at all, but if you have a knowledgeable or art enthused family then these offer a fun and competitive game.The cards themselves look great with a representation of the artist at the top. The game concept works, but I would be more comfortable with the purer history versions of the game as that is my area of knowledge. This pack is good for art fans but also students studying art history from GCSE level. I imagine that the audience that will get the most of this game is niche, but those people will really enjoy it.

Great way to keep everyone entertained. The pack can fit into a handbag so easy to travel with too. Love the joker facts!

The player asks the person to the left to give them facts about the history hero on top of their pile. If the player guesses right, they win the card and continue again to try and win another, until they cannot guess anymore, then the player to the left begins.They also show you several other ways you can play and they encourage you to make your own rules too.Great little card game for the family, challenging and fun. I definitely need to pick back up on my knowledge ha! I would recommend.

History Heroes: ARTISTS, a family card game about famous artists in historyIn the pack.You get a series of cards with a list of facts about them ranging from easy to hard.Playing.It needs two or more players or you can just learn the facts as a point of intertest and test yourself. The game is played by trying to guess the artists from the clues. The one who guesses right wins the card. The player with the most cards wins.Overall.A simple game but it is great fun and you learn as well. Fine for any age really and the facts are very surprising and informative. A really good family game.

Don’t be fooled by the accessible-looking, ‘Horrible Histories’-style branding that makes this look like it will make art and artists accessible to a young audience. It really, really won’t.This is a game for GCSE and A-level art students, and possibly university art students. And that’s pretty much it. Only general knowledge savants who tend to get all the answers right when watching “Q.I.” stand much of a chance otherwise.Although the game says it’s for people aged from 8 upwards, I’ve met extremely few eight-year-olds- and not that many grown-ups, probably- who would be confidently aware that Jean-Michel Basquiat worked with Andy Warhol between 1983 and 1985, that Edgar Degas’ first sculpture was called “Little Dancer aged fourteen”, or that Georges Seurat’s “A Sunday On La Grande Jatte” took two years to complete.And here’s the thing- all of the above are *easy* clues. There are three levels of clue, green yellow and red, and each of those are supposed to be the easy ones. The hard clues are often just incredibly abstract (“I gave the art world new ideas and concepts about how the eye sees colour”), or reference grown-up things like accidental drug overdoses or Artemisia Gentileschi being brutally attacked by her art teacher. Stuff that not only would a child not know, you wouldn’t actually want them to know either.The quality of the cards is good and they’re nicely presented, with some quite sweet illustrations. So in terms of production quality, there’s nothing wrong there.The game itself is a simple but well thought-out one, and I’m sure I would probably enjoy other games in the History Heroes series. I’m actually thinking of buying the Scientists version of the set, where both I and my kids might have a slightly better chance of turning it into an actual game. But the Artists set is basically impossible to our plebian family.It’s like playing grown-up-difficulty Trivial Pursuits when you’re too young. You really enjoy the little cheesy pieces and the dice rolling, but it all falls apart because you understand almost none of the questions. Frustrating.

Basically it is a card game which you need to guess the famous artist in history to win the card. or learn about them first!. There are 40 cards with different artists from around the world. Each card with have 6 hints relating to that artist, whoever guessed the correct artist will win the card.It is suggested that the game is for 8+, I honestly don't think there are many 8 years old will know more than 5 of these artist. Well, I can only name abot 6 or 7 of them, many.of whom i never heard of.It is also suggested that you can learn the artist with these cards. I must say it will not be an interesting way to learn about the artists because firstly you don't have much info about the artist, and secondly you can really appreciate the work/paintings created by the artists. It doesn't really attract my kids interest playing with it.
