About the Game

Following in the footsteps of history's iconic journalists comes a game inspired by the bombastic showmanship of television news.

Action News: The Game of Television News is a fast-paced social card game that transforms your game group into a television news team competing against the clock — and each other — to tell the best news story. As a reporter, you have limited time to collect story parts, including quotes, sources, tag lines, and sign-offs. You then combine these pieces with a news event to build your story. No improvisation or trivia knowledge required!

Think of it as rhetorical Tetris, or an anthropomorphic set of refrigerator magnet poetry after it went to college and got a journalism degree.
