Overview

What ABG knows about this game

The players put together four shows in any order. To accomplish this, players draft actor cards from a constantly changing queue of cards. Each card represents actors of varying skills at roles. Once a player puts together all the needed roles for a show, the value is judged against all the other productions of that type, with points given relative to the other productions. This is a Queen Games reprint of the db-Spiele original, Premiere.
