"Real-life musician Jared Lutes poured his 20+ years of music industry experience into designing a theme-heavy strategy game that lets players experience the adventure of making it in the competitive and sometimes capricious music industry. In Famous: Stage I, 1-4 players will compete over 40-200 minutes to put together a band, write songs, rehearse, network, and advertise, all for a rare chance of musical success."
"Each time a player does the same main action, they'll move up its associated track which makes the action better over time. Hours can also be spent promoting the band, scrounging through thrift or pawn shops for costumes and gear, and investing in merchandise that may provide small benefits. At the end of each week, band leaders may perform at pre-scheduled gigs, earn associated rewards, and subsequently book the band new gigs for which they are qualified."
Famous: Stage I is a theme-heavy strategy board game for 1-4 players with a playtime of 40–200 minutes that simulates early-stage band management. The game runs over 12 weekly rounds during which players allocate 15 afterwork hours each week to actions such as songwriting, rehearsing, networking, and advertising. Main actions cost 5–7 hours and improve along associated tracks when repeated. Players may also spend hours promoting the band, buying costumes and gear, and investing in merchandise. At the end of each week players perform scheduled gigs to earn rewards and qualify for new bookings. The game culminates in recording a five-song album.
