It's 1947, and you're part of the booming Hollywood movie - making scene. But beware! There might be communists in your small production studio, sneaking 'un - patriotic' propaganda into your films. Can you craft enough movie masterpieces before your studio shuts down? Or will you be suspected and kicked out of the industry? Hollywood 1947 is an engaging social deduction and light strategy board game for 1 - 9 players that takes just 20 - 40 minutes to play. The game comes in a book box and includes 15 genre posters, 9 film strips, 9 custom star dice, 4 sculpted tokens, 6 propaganda cards, 9 job cards, and 9 loyalty cards. Each player can be a patriot, a communist, or a Rising Star, with a distinct job. These jobs influence the movies made each round. At the round's end, players with stars on their dice add a card to the movie. The added cards are shuffled, one is removed, and the rest are revealed. The team with the most revealed cards wins the round. The first team to win 4 rounds takes the game, while the Rising Star tries to stretch the game to 7 rounds.
