The Networks: Primetime (EN)

In The Networks, you run a brand-new TV network and need fresh programming. You’ll secure Shows, Stars, and Ads to build your schedule. Stars earn you extra viewers, Ads generate money—and you’ll need to act fast to grab the hottest shows before your rivals.

Shows require Stars and Ads, but not every Star fits every slot: some only appear on dramas, others demand to be the sole Star. Your Ads also pay best only in the correct time slot. With limited resources and time, you’ll plan carefully and shape your lineup.

Because Shows age and audiences drift, you’ll keep things fresh by canceling series and sending them into reruns. Reruns still deliver viewers, and focusing on a single genre across multiple shows can unlock bonuses.

When you need an extra push, Network Cards grant special powers—but are they better than another action? That choice is yours. After five seasons, the player with the most viewers wins.
