About the game
The stars shine on the red carpet. Once again, the Academy Awards ceremony is held and as a photographer you have the goal of capturing the best portraits of the most famous figures from the golden age of Hollywood. Get a good spot, find the perfect angle and take the photos that will be on the front pages of all the newspapers tomorrow. In Red Carpet, you play as a photographer who seeks to capture the best portraits of the celebrities who arrive in limousines and parade down the red carpet to the awards gala. Players will use their mobile phone, which they will place on pedestals around the board, to take the photos. Depending on a number of criteria (whether the celebrity is facing forward, whether they are in the foreground, whether there is advertising in the background, etc.), you will add or subtract points for each portrait. You will also influence the awards by voting for your favourite nominees in each category, and at the crucial moment of the awards ceremony, the value of the winners' portraits will be doubled. In each turn, players will use cards to perform various actions, such as placing their tripod in a space in the press area or moving the characters parading down the red carpet. In addition to the celebrities, there will also be anonymous people in the scene, so it will be key to get the best angle to take the best portraits. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Red Carpet supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Red Carpet is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Red Carpet for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Red Carpet has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
