Read the full game description
Fest Season places each player in charge of an entertainment company assembling a headline-worthy music festival. Actions build stages and venue services, book artists into genre-driven lineups, collect money, and complete projects, while the shared markets and popularity controls keep every plan connected. Tile placement, set collection, contracts, and commodity timing converge on a final score shaped by attendance, ticket price, amenities, projects, and objectives. A dedicated solo design preserves the full planning puzzle for one organizer.
