Show Business: Idols

Show Business: Idols supports 2–5 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 Show Business: Idols is 60–200 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 Show Business: Idols for ages 14 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.

Show Business: Idols belongs to these categories: Economic, Movies / TV / Radio theme, and Music. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Point to Point Movement.

The catalogue lists Show Business: Idols as an expansion for Show Business. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Show Business to use it. Check that your edition of Show Business is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
