Rock Festival 2023

Organize your own rock festival with your buddies and meager resources. Select the best bands of the moment for your program. Recruit technicians, organize refreshments, security, set up the stage, handle communications and find funding. Avoid the hassle and enjoy the festival!

Rock festival: Crescendo is a cooperative game. Players start the game with 20 resources and a motivated team of 15 volunteers. Depending on the number of players, you have 8, 10 or 12 rounds to recruit 10 of the most popular artists from around the world. During his turn, each player must select a card from among 6 cards (the river, which will be reconstituted at the end of each turn), paying for the necessary resources or volunteers. Each type of card allows you to gain either fame (by recruiting artists), or additional resources or volunteers. Additionally, by collecting cards of the same type you'll get bonus points at the end of the game. But beware, some cards (galleys) will get in your way, and you'll have to spend your resources and volunteers to discard them as soon as possible: accumulating 4 galley cards in the river will make you lose the game.

The game is won if, at the end of your festival, you have at least as many Resources and Volunteers as at the start, i.e. 20 Resources and 15 Volunteers available to organize the next edition of the festival.

The artists you've recruited during your festival will determine your degree of victory.
