Description

The Networks – Primetime

1-5 Players | Ages 13+ | 60-90 Minutes

Originally released in 2016, Gil Hova’s The Networks returns in a streamlined, redeveloped edition that’s sharper and more engaging than ever! Players compete as up-and-coming television networks, drafting cards to build a lineup of Shows, Stars, and Ads over four intense rounds to become the top cable TV boss.

Shows need Stars and Ads to succeed. Stars boost your viewers (points), while Ads bring in extra money. But resources are limited, and timing is critical—grab the hottest shows before your rivals do! Some Stars have specific preferences, like appearing only in certain genres or being the sole Star on a show, and Ads earn the most when placed in optimal time slots.

Shows age, and audiences lose interest, so keeping your lineup fresh is key. Canceling shows sends them into reruns, earning additional viewers, and bonuses are awarded for building a cohesive genre strategy. Network Cards add special powers, offering game-changing opportunities—but deciding when to use them is part of the challenge.

After five seasons, the player with the most viewers wins! The Networks – Primetime blends strategic drafting, resource management, and clever timing for a highly competitive and replayable experience.
