The exact number of cards and money is obtained from one copy of the game, which appears complete but unverified.

The board game with the slime and grime of the music business. Play the inner yellow circuit first, form a band, recruit a manager and ultimately secure a recording contract with a major record company.
Then the manager uses the outer blue circuit to arrange recordings, gigs, TV and radio appearances etc. while the band is on the road using the touring map. Promote your band’s single to No.1 in the charts, to win. A rare and unique game.
