Read the rules

The brief is in. The read is yours.

How it plays

The CEO flips an ADVERTISER face up. Everyone else picks a PODCAST from their hand, flips a CLIENT NOTE, and does the read: that brand, in that show's style, with the note worked in. Sixty seconds is the floor. Best read wins the account. Then the CEO job moves left.

The whole thing is on the rules page, including a two-player mode, team play for big groups, and a 16-player tournament.
