About the game
It doesn't matter if you're on a highway to hell or you're climbing the stairway to heaven. It doesn't matter if you beat the drums, pluck the strings, headbang, or go pogo. If your heart is forged out of metal and the music is running through your veins, the hands will always show the horns — even if you throw the dice! That's something we thought while working on Thrash n'Roll. Each player commands a chosen metal band. During the game, players train their band members, give concerts in the club, record albums, give interviews, compete for the fans, avoid scandals, etc. Over 6-8 turns, players have to gather as much fame as possible to win. The game is crowned with the big concert and ThrashAwards ceremony for the best musicians, albums and singles. The game mechanisms are based on dice and cards.

Questions and answers
Thrash'n Roll 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 Thrash'n Roll is 45–90 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 Thrash'n Roll for ages 12 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.
Thrash'n Roll has a complexity rating of 3.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
