They can choose 4 out of 6 spaces, called publishing tasks. There are 6 publishing tasks in total that can be performed in any order and lead to 6 specific player actions: hire, develop, ideas, print, sales, and royalties. When a player prints a comic book she must pay using monetary resources ($) + 2 identical token ideas and display, on the table, the comic book cover and, underneath, show both a writer and an artist card. The comics’ value (needed for collecting orders on the map) will be the sum of the value of its creatives (artist + writer). Each creative card has a value ranging from 1 to 3.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game lasts 5 rounds. The objective of the game is to accumulate the highest number of fans, make money by publishing comics and create the best portfolio of comic books. There are three main ways to accumulate fans:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ebeing the first to publish a specific genre and specializing in it;\u003cbr\u003epublishing comic books with specialized creatives;\u003cbr\u003ecollecting orders on the map.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the game, a fan chart will track the number of fans accumulated by the comics and will award victory points based on the players’ ranking at the end of every round. In the last round, the number of fans is converted into victory points. The money accumulated is instead divided by 4.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe winner is the player who scores the most victory points (VP from now on, represented by a star icon)\u003cbr\u003eat the end of five rounds.VP are awarded both during and at the end of the game by:\u003cbr\u003e• Publishing original comic books\u003cbr\u003e• Accumulating fans\u003cbr\u003e• Being at the top of the comic book chart every round\u003cbr\u003e• Earning money (but pay attention to taxes)\u003cbr\u003e• Generating ideas\u003cbr\u003e• Improving the printing quality\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lirius Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41736408530995,"sku":"41736408530995","price":49.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic6886727.jpg?v=1708479545","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/age-of-comics-the-golden-years","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
