Bob Ross: Art of Chill Game

About this board game

Bob Ross: Art of Chill Game is a 2–4 player board game with a 30-minute play time, released in 2017. Players race to reach maximum chill by gathering art supplies, building palettes, and completing sections of tranquil paintings.

Each player begins with three art supplies cards, while a double-sided painting card is placed on the easel and Bob starts at the first space of the painting track. Cards show one of seven paints and one of four tools, with some joker cards serving as any color but no tool.

On a turn, the active player rolls the die, which can provide an art supplies card, place a paint on their palette, grant an extra action, or award both a Chill card and an advance for Bob. Chill cards give every player a bonus, create conditions for extra points, and add variety to the race.

• Draw or manage art supplies cards.
• Discard two matching cards to claim a technique card worth 2 points and 1 bonus point when used.
• Place paint on your palette, wash half your palette, or sweep the art supplies card row.
• Complete one of three painting sections by matching every required paint with no unnecessary colors.

Completing a section scores points based on the paints used, with additional bonuses for being among the first players to paint it and for finishing before Bob reaches that space. When all three features are completed, or Bob reaches the end of the track, the painting is replaced and play continues.

In Bob Ross: Art of Chill Game, the first player to reach 30 chill points wins instantly.
