Without Muse his art is nothing, but she wants to be more.
Gather:
Artist: 10 dark tokens, Muse: 10 red tokens, purse. Extra red tokens.
Choose1 for each:
Artist-vision: [biblical, deformed, abstract, wild, ascetic, morbid].
Muse-trait: [vulgar, gorgeous, attentive, aristocratic, open-minded, playful, naive].
Artist's Petition: ask Muse to do something daring for your art. Put dark token before her. Negotiate.
If she says:
YES: she gives you red token in exchange and puts dark one into her purse;
NO: keep your token. She draws 2 tokens from her purse, 3 if any trait was invoked:
if any is dark, she hesitantly agrees and chooses [artist-trait] for him.
Artist-trait: [starving, eccentric, melancholic, raging, substance abuser, careless]
if all are red, Artist chooses [muse-trait] for her and it's her turn to Petition.
If she agrees, she adds [artist-vision]
Muse's Petition: ask Artist to do something that: makes you happy/ improves your living situation/ helps with your own art or work.
If he says:
YES: he gives you dark token.
NO: choose1:
get an extra red token and he chooses [trait] for himself
forgive him: take 2 red tokens.
Then: his turn.
Game ends when you can't see other as your Muse/ Artist.
To all my mentors. Thank you.
