📖 About This Game
The players are reporters and want to collect 8 articles for their newspaper. On your turn, you throw 2 dice. The colored die determines what kind of card you are entitled to draw onto your hand. Blue cards show a specific department, grew ones a specific action like swap cards, play a department card from your hand into your display, make a revealed card of an opponent a canard (worthless), decide to accelerate before throwing the dice. The regular die determines the number of spaces you advance on the track.
You may play one action card on your turn. When you have 8 cards in your display, try to reach the space of the head quarter. After someone arrived there, all players add the value of their cards in their display and deduct the number of spaces they need to reach the headquarter. Highest score wins.
There are several German newspapers that published this game idea.
The game is produced by Ravensburger Freizeit- und Promotion-Service GmbH.
