How To Play Hollywood: Rules Summary

Setup

1. First, lay out the game board on a flat surface. Make sure everyone can reach it. I once tried to balance it on a coffee table2 complete disaster.

2. Then, distribute character cards to each player. Randomly or through an epic rock-paper-scissors showdown, your choice!

3. Shuffle and place the Hollywood Talent Cards facedown in their spot. Remember the time I tried to shuffle them like a magician? Cards everywhere!

4. Now, give each player their starting money. Don’t let them use it for pizza, though. That’s cheating.

Gameplay

1. Players take turns clockwise. So, if you’re ever lost, just think of a clock.

2. On your turn, draw a Talent Card. Try to act surprised. “Oh look, a card!”

3. Then, choose your action: hire an actor, produce a movie, or bribe your way to the top. Just kidding, no bribing probably.

4. Negotiate with other players if needed. Use your best intergalactic diplomat voice.

Winning

1. To win, amass the most fame and fortune by the end of the game. So, channel your inner movie mogul!

2. The game ends when all Talent Cards are drawn and used. If you’re like me, you’ll ask “Are we there yet?” about a hundred times.

Special Rules & Conditions

1. If a player goes bankrupt, they must sell their assets to pay debts. This isn’t Monopoly, but it can feel like it.

2. Some Talent Cards have conditions or bonuses. Read them with a magnifying glass, or just plain old glasses.

3. If you draw a wildcard, the whole table must act like it’s Hollywood’s golden era. I recommend lots of dramatic accents.
