Golden Reel

Run a film and TV studio from 1955 to the streaming age — develop shows, cast stars, shoot pilots, sell to channels and manage the drama behind the camera.

Goal
Sell your first show to a channel and keep it on air for a second season.

How to play
1. Go to Shows and create a concept: genre, theme, tone and audience.
2. Cast a lead and a supporting actor — genre fit matters.
3. Let the writers develop the script, then shoot the pilot.
4. Pick a channel offer and choose highlight cards each week to keep ratings up.
5. Handle stars, scandals and renewals; later make films too.
