Channel A (2012)

About this game

In Channel A, players compete at presenting anime TV show ideas. Shows are based on two premises selected by one player from a set of five randomly chosen premises. Each player selects up to four title word cards from their hand of ten cards and makes a pitch to the other players about their show with that title. Players then vote by secret ballot on who had the best show pitch. Premise and Title cards are all drawn from the vast ocean of anime shows.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
