The Networks: Executives

About this expansion

The Networks: Executives is a full expansion for The Networks for 1–5 players, with a play time of about 90 minutes.

At the start of the game, each player chooses a Network Executive. Every executive brings their own advantages and drawbacks, giving players a distinct way to approach the game.

The expansion also introduces a new deck of Show Cards with a different genre mix. Each genre now has an equal chance of appearing, while Sports Shows have a higher upkeep and Reality Shows provide fewer Viewers on average than another show with a large number of Stars.

Instead of automatically receiving starting Public Access Shows, Stars, and Ads, players begin with a Pilot Season draft. The shows selected during this draft determine starting resources, including Stars, Ads, and extra money.

• Choose a Network Executive with unique advantages and drawbacks.
• Draft starting shows during Pilot Season.
• Use a new Show Card deck with an equal chance for each genre.
• Claim Mogul Cards as powerful rewards for genre bonuses.

Genre bonuses now offer another major milestone. You receive a Mogul Card when you gain your first 5-show genre bonus or your second 3-show genre bonus. These cards act like supercharged Network Cards, making them valuable additions to your plans.

With executive abilities, a revised Show Card mix, a resource-shaping opening draft, and coveted Mogul Cards, The Networks: Executives changes how every network begins and develops.
