Cartaventura: Hollywood

About this board game

Cartaventura: Hollywood is an immersive historical narrative card game for 1–6 players, with a play time of about 60 minutes. Set in 1920 Ohio, it follows Jim Tully, a factory worker who leaves his old life behind to pursue his dream of making it into the movies.

From train to train, you will cross the United States in search of the most famous of all tramps: Charlie Chaplin. Along the way, face the hard life of a Hobo and decide how far you are willing to go in pursuit of Hollywood and a career on the silver screen.

Cartaventura: Hollywood is part of a collection of immersive, narrative card games in which players experience a historical adventure together. The story unfolds as you reveal cards, expand the map, and make decisions that affect the ending you receive.

• Follow Jim Tully’s journey across 1920s America.
• Reveal story cards and build out the map as the adventure progresses.
• Make choices that influence the outcome.
• Play again to discover different choices and uncover more of the story’s secrets.

The rules are simple, with the game introducing its mechanics as you move through the narrative. This keeps the focus on the journey, the decisions, and the question of whether Jim will survive life as a Hobo, reach Hollywood, and achieve his ambitions.

Designed for 1–6 players and released in 2022, Cartaventura: Hollywood offers a compact story-driven experience that can be revisited to explore its possibilities and endings.
