Rock & Roll Brouhaha - Alpha

The spotlight shone brightly on Ziggy Moonglow as her fingers blazed across the Star-Kindler’s maple fretboard. You beamed in pride as 88 Extremities, the band that you had assembled for this prestigious gig at the exclusive Holla-Deck Club, totally rocked the house. Backing Ziggy was Mickey "Mouse" Jones on bass and Danny Doublestar, formerly of Armashreddon, on drums. The masterstroke of the line-up was the addition of MC Hovercraft, who took the band's sound in a whole new direction. The capacity crowd swayed in rapt attention as 88 Extremities broke into a funk-metal groove. And this was just the start. This band could really go places, especially with you calling the shots...

Rock & Roll Brouhaha is an asymmetric, customizable, expandable card game, in which players assume the role of band managers who are tasked with assembling musicians, buying musical gear, looking for gigs and scheduling venues for their bands.

My name is Shirky. I'm an active musician, performing in and around Berks County, PA. I live literally around the corner from where Taylor Swift strummed her first guitar chords, and a mile from where March King John Philip Sousa reached his final double-bar.

As a musician and gamer, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Rock & Roll Brouhaha. It's filled with immersive, authentic challenges that real musicians encounter. I've also included many hidden easter eggs from my own musical adventures.

This game is medium complexity, similar to Magic the Gathering. If you are looking for a party game (Codenames, Dixit) or a lighter game (Ticket to Ride, Monopoly), this is NOT your game. However, if you enjoy medium to complex level strategy (Terraforming Mars, Agricola, MtG, etc.) then this game will resonate with you.

No AI art is used in this game.

Regarding the game box: In an effort to keep the cost down, there is no official game box included. However, you do have options for storage:

1. Retain the box in which the game is shipped and use it.
2. Store cards and pieces in the enclosed plastic bag that the rulebook comes in. (see image in gallery as example.)
3. Independently purchase a card storage box for poker-sized cards available at any game store.
