Maestro (1989)

About this game

Each player runs a musical talent agency, and has a personal player board in front of him. By managing musicians, players race to complete compositions, each with their own requirements. Musicians not used by the end of the game are deducted from one's score, and players struggle to manage their stable of personnel, who must all be paid, and can steal musicians from competitors. Revised version: Little Amadeus Maestro

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
