THE NETWORKS: MEGACORP
Cable TV has never been so ruthless
The remote control is burning hot and ratings are plummeting: a new shark has arrived in the television world, and it's intent on eating up all the ratings. It's no longer enough to have the funniest show; now you have to contend with aggressive acquisitions and unscrupulous executives.
It's a strategy and business management board game that transforms the living room into a high-tension boardroom, where every cancelled show is a blow to your pride. This expansion doesn't just add cards; it introduces a true business revolution that changes the pace of the climb to success.
Megacorp's true signature is the introduction of Executives with asymmetrical powers: each player now has a unique style that breaks the classic rules, forcing you to plan moves you never imagined before. Add support for a fifth player and a dynamic market clearing system, and you'll have a constantly fresh challenge.
It's the game for those who love biting satire, for groups who want to extend the challenge to 5 participants, and for those who believe that a good reality show is worth more than a thousand friendships.
Why MEGACORP sticks in your head
Now you play up to five people and the fight for the advertising slots becomes incredibly brutal.
Each network has a unique power that breaks the basic rules and personalizes your strategy.
An entity that cleans the market, stealing the best shows if you're not fast enough.
The game adapts and offers new specific cards to make the ending even more tense.
Shows that count towards two different categories offer a tactical flexibility never seen before.
Seeing the opposing network fail to plan for your move is pure joy.

RATINGS TO THE STARS
When corporate governance meets trash television
There's something devilishly satisfying about stealing your neighbor's star of the moment just as he's about to launch the show of the year. The atmosphere at the table oscillates between laughter at the show's parodic titles and the cold tension of calculating the numbers to maximize ratings.
You must decide whether to invest in expensive but reliable productions or risk it all on niche shows that could become cult classics thanks to the Executives' unique new powers. Every choice weighs doubly because Megacorp is always lurking to sweep the best options from the center of the table.
Every shift is a race against time and an automated system that never sleeps, forcing you to constantly adapt, keeping your adrenaline pumping until the last share point. There's no room for pity when prime time is at stake.
Where it rewards you
Activating your character's special power at the perfect time can turn the entire leaderboard upside down.
The more money there is in the system, the more capricious stars you can afford to overpay for your show.
Finding the actor who doubles your show points just when you need it is pure ecstasy.
Megacorp clears the table of trash, speeding up the turnover of available cards.
Secret and public objectives that reward those who know how to intelligently diversify the schedule.
With asymmetric powers, each match has a different personality and requires new tactics.
Where it tests you
The Networks Megacorp enhances the base game experience by introducing hand-management mechanics and variable powers that increase strategic depth without weighing down the flow. Perfect for those looking for a fun but challenging management board game, where long-term planning clashes with the unpredictability of the simulated television market and the competition for resources is fierce.
