Description
In Rivals of Rock, you're the leader of a rock band trying to make it big in a small town with a thriving music scene. With a world-touring rock festival coming to your city in a year, you've got your sights set on headlining the event, but you're not the only ones with ambitions. Over the course of three seasons, you'll be competing against rival bands to gain the most fame and snatch the top spot. The game is designed for one to four players, and with a playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, you can expect a fun and immersive experience that's perfect for a weekend evening. The rules of Rivals of Rock are simple to learn, so you can dive right in and start building your band. As you progress through the game, you'll recruit and level up musicians, rehearse to gain skills and write songs, and perform at different venues to gain fans and rewards. But it's not just about playing your favorite songs - you've got to carefully consider which ones to play at each venue, taking into account what the audience wants to hear and what your rival bands are up to. And don't forget to keep an eye on your musicians' needs and band drama, or you might find yourself struggling to keep your band together. With different worker types and worker placement mechanics, you'll need to strategize and make the most of your resources to come out on top. As a music-themed game designed by Candice M.
