The game is ready to go. Get excited!

Let’s Play!

We’re gonna play a bunch of rounds. In each round, we’ll put the product cards in the middle of the table and show the top card. The product card has four products that the agencies can pick from. Each of us, the players, will choose a cool slogan from our hand to match one of the products.

Once we pick our slogans, we’ll place the ad cards face down in front of us. Important: Once placed, we can’t change our slogans. The youngest player will be the first advertiser. They’ll show their slogan card to everyone and read it out loud. After that, they’ll turn their voter wheel to show the chosen product, but they won’t let others see it.

Here’s how the game works: each player has the task of figuring out which product the advertiser is selling. We do this by using voter wheels to make our choice. Once we’ve made our decision, the advertiser will reveal the answer by flipping their voter wheel and reading the slogan with the product.

After that, we all reveal our guesses. If we guess correctly, the advertiser earns 100 thousand dollars for each player who got it right, and we, the players, also earn the same amount. However, if we all choose the wrong product, the advertiser loses 200 thousand dollars because they’re not very good at their job. Then it’s time for the next round, with a new advertiser taking their turn to advertise.

Once round one is done and we all get a chance to advertise, we each get dealt a new slogan card to replace the old one. Then, a new product card is shown, and we start the next round. The role of advertiser moves to the person on the left, and the game keeps going.

GAME OVER

The game ends when one player meets all three requirements. The first player to hire a SpokesAnimal, a SpokesPerson, and the Ultimate Spokesperson, Max Madison, wins! If two agencies are tied, there’s a playoff round to break the tie!
