Headliner is a music–themed card game of building bands, chasing hype, and stealing the spotlight. Draft the right mix of talent, style, and sound to become the act everyone came to see. Own the stage in this travel-sized showdown full of bold personalities and rock n' roll attitude. On your turn, you will draft a new band member into your hand from one of five columns. Then, you'll drive your van to a venue in town with hopes to hit the stage once you have earned the matching icon requirements. Finally, if you've got the right card combination, you hit the stage and headline at the venue! Headlining will earn you cash that you can use to get new band members in the future, but ultimately gets you closer to winning the game. Once you headline, though, your band breaks up! You must discard all band members except for one, then work your way back towards performing again soon with a new (and might I say better) band. The first player to earn $100 cash will win the game and go on a nationwide tour! -description from the publisher
