Provenance

Where it came from

The Gallerist was designed by Vital Lacerda and published by Eagle-Gryphon Games in 2015. It emerged during a period of rising interest in 'heavy' eurogames, characterized by complex, interconnected systems and high-quality production values. Lacerda intended to capture the multifaceted life of an art gallery owner, forcing players to balance the competing demands of curating exhibitions, promoting artists, and securing funding within a simulated art market.

The game is noted for its intricate iconography and visual design, which features minimalist art deco elements to reflect the refined aesthetic of a high-end gallery. Upon its release, it was lauded by the hobby gaming community for its cohesive thematic integration, though it is frequently acknowledged as a challenging experience due to its steep learning curve and reliance on tactical economic management.
