About Audience

In Audience, 2 to 6 players compete to earn the most 'Share' points and become the most influential radio station! It’s a highly interactive game that combines trick-taking with majority mechanics. Each radio station has a team of six speakers, and each speaker has its own wave power, which can be either one or two. A speaker may also have a special effect that could disrupt their opponents' plans. All the speaker decks are the same in terms of effects and power. Each player starts the game with all their speaker cards available. The Audience cards are displayed in a line (or a grid in the advanced mode) and represent the listeners that players are competing for. During their turns, players can either play a speaker card into a column or draw their entire discard pile. A column is considered saturated when the total wave power played into it is at least 4. The player with the highest wave power in a saturated column wins the Audience card. In case of a tie, the winner is the player with the topmost speaker card. The audience is divided into 6 categories, each of which awards points at the end of the game to the player who collects the highest number of symbols in that category. Some event cards from the audience deck may appear, representing sponsorship opportunities. Each event card will assign points to the player who obtains it, each with its unique scoring method. Audience can also be played in teams: 2 vs 2, 2 vs 2 vs 2, or in teams of 3 players each. —description from the publisher
