Description

Upstaged! is a 2-4 person board and card game where players take on the role of a music industry mentor looking to form the next big trio. Players compete against each other by using cue cards to influence aspiring singers on a rotatable stage, the centerpiece of which is none other than the game’s box itself. While the box is small and portable, four runways attach to it for gameplay to create a unique and eye-catching tabletop experience. Upstaged! plays in 15-30 minutes and features two modes of play: Rehearsal Mode to introduce new gamers to modern tabletop games, and The Live Show for players ready to engage in deeper strategic competition.

Quotes (from this video)
  • The show became three dudes and immediately became nothing but hot takes and all yelling at each other
  • If you don't get a 12th of the year for yourself, selfish to say.
  • This is an unprecedented time. Otani is unreal. Uh, to be able to provide that value and we're talking about value as in games, right?
  • We're all League ignorant here, but Riftbound is a pretty sweet card game.
  • make it so that you don't get screwed for resources. And make it so you never have to shuffle your deck.
  • Again, they switch seats. But the set does look incredible.
  • My head still hurts from that game, by the way.
  • You know what's funny, too? It actually has a solo game which I'm interested in because area control and solo game never really I I never would have thought
  • It's really cool to talk to Mike getting to know his background as a musician and as a DJ and uh how he used that um to um take him along the journey of the board game design.
  • it's crazy how simple of a game it is and how much it paralyzes you and it's like a hallmark of his design.
  • None of us were correct. That's so funny.
