About the game
Ten Jazz-Style characters are ready to join your musical community, and their Personality goals and Favor abilities are similar to those of previous Styles. In order to preserve the odds of drawing your chosen Style from the larger deck, however; two additional, special Musicians have been added. This pair has the same “plug-in” trait as do the game’s Leaders - that is, they automatically match the Style of the Band Board to which they are recruited! Two new Prospect cards have been added, with one meant to help dig through the expanding deck. The two new Private Gigs are optimized for both early and late game plays. Two new Venues represent the extreme ends of the gigging landscape, while two more Events add a little more variety overall. And of course, a new set of Jazz Outfits also pair with the other Styles, while some added "Alls" preserve your drawing odds. And a new Band Board is the luxurious purple home of your Jazz crew. It features a “2up/2down” Hour-cost that can take you down a different path to fame.
