Hi, thanks for reviewing the game! A small thing - all the acrylic pieces have a layer of protective film on the "business" side. You've got the back side of the acrylic standees showing. Eventually, the film will peel off on its own but you can peel it off the standees (and the bases and the ability tokens) now to make things look awesome and match the art on the character cards. Secondly, I've played and playtested this game well over 100 times. There's often been a runaway laggard (usually to people who never want to play an otherwise suboptimal move to gain better player order) but never a runaway leader to the extent you mentioned. If this has happened more than once you might want to check the FAQ and errata on BGG to make sure you aren't playing a rule incorrectly. In particular, there is an unfortunate bit of iconography on the board in the form of the "no candy" icon. It doesn't mean you can't use the space with candy - it's just a flag that there is a special rule related to the space. Anyway, glad you found a few things to like and sorry it didn't tick all the boxes for you!
Hi Jackie. Thanks for your response. We peeled those layers off before playing so I’m not sure what you’re referring to with regards to the standees. I’m banned from BGG so won’t be able to look at the FAQ…how Raaaaawk 🤘but we didn’t play the game incorrectly. The rules are very simple so it’s almost impossible to make errors. Can I ask if there will be an expansion for the game? I’m sure there’s loads more thematic elements that can be added.
@@BoardGameBollocks I've designed an expansion that does something quite interesting to the songwriting and makes the game a lot more strategic. It's still in the unofficial stage and no one in the industry knows how our current tariff situation is going to affect production. I do think you will like the changes as they open the game up and add complexity. There is still some luck but you have more control over what to do about it.
I think any musicians who attempted to get a record deal would say that the scoring emulates life. One band makes it big and 10 others can’t get out of mom’s garage.
@@xGarrettThiefxImplying the ones without a major deal are lazy ...I bet you listen to OLD rock because "todays music aint got it" when you just havent found it, cause it aint on tv.
Played once and, as is becoming more frequent, came last. No not that FFS. Enjoyed it despite 2 players disappearing into the distance vp’s wise. They both consumed copious amounts of “candy” once they’d got a tape/record deal organised. Will play again
are some of the event cards much worse than others? I was thinking about maybe making sure the worst ones don't come out especially in the first few plays where it could ruin the game for newbies.
Hey bullock what do you think about darwins journey? İs it come RUclips channel ? Your channel is verry cool. İm from turkey. İ watch all video at your channel.
Think it would improve if some of the one-person-at-a-time places were multi. Especially when events close a gig,, maybe allowing a double header show in another location for example.
I think I helped get you on trick shot and captain flip. Got another one I think you will love. Maniac It’s sort of like stalker. Rock hard looks disappointing.
If there was ever a game that needed the Board Game Bollocks treatment it’s this one. Grabbing my popcorn.

@JackieFox1976 Looking forward to that 👍🏻
@@BoardGameBollocks Hey bro, I think she means the film on the base of the standees. You can clearly see it at 1:44, for example.
@asrielyoung1297 film on the base?

Cheers mate. I don’t have the time to trawl through videos and do this
"Foky, Soky, Smoke Ciggarette in Pushy"
Jesus 🤣😂
Medieval Bollocks, ....I found the name of my next boardgame creation! Thanks
This board game could indicate my status every time i see there's a new BGB upload
Great review 👍
Good to actually see a very balanced review of this.
P.S. I think your audio is clipping quite a bit on this mate. You got that dial at 11? 😂
You got the deliberate mistake?
I think any musicians who attempted to get a record deal would say that the scoring emulates life. One band makes it big and 10 others can’t get out of mom’s garage.
....10 others don't get up in time to even practice...
@@xGarrettThiefxImplying the ones without a major deal are lazy ...I bet you listen to OLD rock because "todays music aint got it" when you just havent found it, cause it aint on tv.
@@EasyForYouToSay.mp3 I used to work in the entertainment industry...
What happens if you go your one way like the Tiger Lillies?

You didn't mention that the game was designed by Joan Jett's ex-bassist
Does it matter?
Groupie scoring?

Will play again

Prob not mate. Too many Darwin games last year

Sounds like you're not exactly rock hard for Rock Hard. Eh? Eh?
It’s fine
There are not enough music themed games, under used theme would love more
@BoardGameBollocks it's fine, that's the most british thing I have heard. Today.
@@theshogunstein6475 check out draft and write records or monster rock
😂😂😂 miss missd missd ,, Rok n Roll Swindle, bud where's the card where your manager abandons u in a foreign country and your best mate , nah 🦖🚽
I think I helped get you on trick shot and captain flip. Got another one I think you will love. Maniac
It’s sort of like stalker.
Rock hard looks disappointing.
Yea cheers for the recommendations mate. Will take a look at Maniac.
