On January 17th Facade Games will launch Bristol 1350 on Kickstarter. This will be the 5th volume in the Dark Cities Series (previous games include Salem 1692, Tortuga 1667, Deadwood 1876, and Bristol 1350).
Hollywood 1947 is for 1-9 Players. It can be learned in 10 minutes and plays for 20-40 minutes. It is recommended for ages 14+.
The year is 1947 and you are a member of the thriving movie-making industry of Hollywood. However, it is suspected that there are communists hiding among your small production studio slipping “un-Patriotic” messages, themes, props, and lines into your movies! Will you be able to find all the communists before your studio is shut down? Or will you be suspected yourself and banned from the industry?
In the game you will play as one of the 9 members of the movie studio. Will you be the screenwriter, determining which types of movies to make? The producer, with the ability to swap other players' jobs? The Actress, to improve the cards in other players' hands?
Hollywood 1947 is a social deduction game. You must never show your cards or loyalty to anyone, but you may say whatever you’d like about the cards you put into a movie, or about your loyalty.Open discussion about which cards were added into a movie is encouraged. However, if you are a Communist or the Rising Star, lying will often help you accomplish your goals since the majority of players will be Patriots.
If you think someone is not on your team, re-roll their dice to keep them from adding a card into the upcoming movie. You must also manage your hand so that you have the right cards to play.
