Janitor Interactive and Game and a Curry have a new card drafting game up on Kickstarter. In Battle of the Boy Bands, each player takes on the role of a music producer aiming to groom a …you guessed it! boy band to compete in various events. Whoever score the most points at the end of six rounds in the winner. The game is for three to six players, ages 13+, and plays in around 5 minutes to an hour. Battle of the Boy Bands has easily passed its Kickstarter goal and you can reserve a copy of the game for a $25.00 pledge though June 4. Expected delivery is this November.
From Game and a Curry:
In Battle of the Boy Bands, 3 to 6 players take on the roles of producers in the pop music industry and must build boy bands to compete in special events. The player with the most points at the end of 6 rounds wins the game.
During each round, players try to win the Event in play by building the boy band that will earn the most points according to the special Event rules. Equipping Perk cards from the Breaking News deck to Boys can give them extra points. Players can sabotage each others’ boy bands by playing Attack cards from the Breaking News deck against them, but watch out! Players can also protect their Boys with Defend cards!
