How to Play Party House

About Party House: The Deckbuilding Game, from BoardGameGeek:

Based on the critically acclaimed indie video game Party House from "UFO 50," this board game adaptation is a push-your-luck race to throw the ultimate party! In each game, you and up to three other players compete to throw the ultimate party (featuring enough VIP stars) by expanding your rolodex of characters (your deck) who are invited to your event. These characters enter your house one at a time, and you must decide when to end the rager before it gets too out of control and the troublemakers attract the police who bust your party. If you don't bust, you may spend your popularity and money to add exciting new characters to your rolodex. The game features dozens of unique guests, including a helpful doorman, a wild rock star, a calming dog, a cheerful photographer, and many more! The most valuable guests are the VIPs (alien, ghost, genie, mermaid, etc.) who are essential to throwing the ultimate party and winning the game. Players also wrestle for control of the achievements which grant passive VIP stars to whoever holds them. Gather your buddies, bump up the jams, and make this a party to remember! -description from the publisher
