Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Simultaneous draft from a common deck
At the start of each "week," each player receives five cards. Choose one card to keep and pass the deck. Repeat until you have selected four cards to play: each card determines actions to be recorded on your band sheet.
2. Mark the actions on your band board
Each card is used to position crews (singers, musicians, producers), track tours or record launches, collect resources, or obtain multiples. Carefully track them in the right section: each action activates various combos.
3. Complete public and private objectives over the weekend
After the draft comes the weekend phase: check if you've achieved one of the four common objectives (e.g., certain assets or harmonies), collect points and bonuses. Then consider completing your personal secret objective for extra points.
4. Manage “Fail” cards well if you can't play
If you don't have the basis to use a card, you mark it as a "fail." You can accumulate a few, but too many penalize your score and risk ending the game prematurely. It's best to plan ahead to avoid failures.
5. Finish the game by avoiding failures and maximizing points
The game ends when someone completes all crews, accumulates too many fails, or reaches the objective limit. Points from completed crews, objectives, tours, resources, and penalties are added together. The player with the most creative and strategic path wins.

In this game, you don't roll dice. You roll the crowd into a frenzy.
Form your band, plan your tour, and become a legend… but watch out for scandals.
Draft & Write Records – Rock, Strategy, and Sold-Out Concerts
It all starts in a garage. Then the first dates arrive, the first fans... and before you know it, you're on a stage with bright lights and deafening screams.
At Draft & Write Records you're not just the frontman: you're the manager, the producer, the logistician, and even the autograph signing guy.
Draft the right cards, combine them in sequence to create perfect concerts, plan travel, staff and band setups with surgical precision.
But be careful: behind every stage there could be a scandal.
It's a musical roll & write , intelligent and full of brilliant ideas, where each partita is a world tour to be built note by note.
Draft & Write Records: music, logistics, and creativity in one strategic score
Draft & Write Records , created by Bruno Maciel and published by Inside Up Games, is a strategic and musical board game for 1-6 players that mixes drafting, writing on paper and pattern building in an original way.
You'll have to build your band by carefully selecting members, plan your tour, attract fans, and—of course—avoid sinking under the weight of some embarrassing scandal.
The heart of the game lies in optimization: each card can generate combos, unlock new actions, or build a powerful scoring engine.
The system of connections, hidden objectives and movements on the map makes it rich, replayable and satisfying , even in solo play.
A modern gem for those who love intelligent games, light in tone but dense in decision-making.
We played it. And we sold out. 🐸
It's not often that a flip & write manages to unite theme and mechanics so effectively.
We had fun building the perfect band, optimizing every move , and dodging scandals with careful planning.
We recommend it to those looking for a smart, thematic title with satisfying combos , without the complexity of a classic management game but with the feeling of having truly led a world tour.
Oh, and you can provide the soundtrack. Maybe Queen. Or Måneskin. Or… I don't know, whatever. The important thing is to make the audience jump!
