Your television network needs new programming, and the competition is already looking for the next big hit. In The Networks, build your lineup of Shows, Stars, and Ads while managing limited resources and trying to attract the most viewers.
Take cards from the display and add them to your lineup, pairing Shows with the Stars and Ads that will make them most effective. Stars can provide bonus viewers, while Ads bring in extra money—but some Stars and Ads perform best under specific conditions, so choosing where and when to use them matters.
Your lineup won’t stay fresh forever. Shows age and viewers lose interest, forcing you to cancel programs or send them into reruns. Reruns can still attract viewers, and building a lineup around the same genres can earn additional bonuses.
When you need an extra advantage, Network Cards provide powerful special actions—but using one means giving up another opportunity. After five seasons, the network with the most viewers wins.
Build the right lineup, manage your resources, and give viewers a reason to keep watching.
