## Description
In Audience, you and your friends become radio station owners in a fierce battle for listeners. Each player controls a team of six speakers, each with their own wave power and special abilities that can turn the game around. The audience cards are the listeners you need to win over, and the strategy lies in deciding when to play your speakers or retrieve your discarded cards. When a column reaches its power limit, the most influential player takes the card—but watch out for ties! At the end, the player with the most symbols in each listener category scores extra points. And there are sponsorship events that can give you that extra push to victory. You can also play in teams, making the competition even more exciting. A fast-paced game full of interaction and twists, perfect for those who love strategy and a good bluff.
