About the game

Age of Comics: The Golden Years Board Game is a worker placement management game in which players will run a publishing company during the golden age of comics (1938-54). 

The objective of the game is to accumulate the highest number of fans, make money by publishing comics and create the best portfolio of comic books. In each round the players take turns positioning their editors onto 6 different publishing tasks: hire, develop, ideas, print, sales, and royalties. To print a comic book, a player must pay using monetary resources, must use 2 identical idea tokens and must have a comic book cover, a writer and an artist card, with the comic’s value determined by the values of its creatives (artist + writer).

The game lasts 5 rounds. Throughout the game, a fan chart will track the number of fans accumulated by the comics and will award victory points based on the players’ ranking at the end of every round. The winner is the player who scores the most victory points at the end of five rounds.
