In Hair Band, you're an upstart 80’s glam metal band vying for Hollywood’s next record deal. But to get it, you'll need to convince the label you're the next big thing - get awesome, get fans, perfect your show, and complete your demo to sign on the dotted line.
Each round, you’ll place your dice-as-rockers around Hollywood to write, rehearse, promote, gig, and party all night. But watch out! Musicians can be a reckless and unruly bunch. So, you’ll need to choose wisely to steer clear of drama that can derail your ambitions. The first band to complete 3 of the 4 record label requirements gets the deal and wins the game.
Hair Band is a dynamic dice placement, engine-building, and resource management game.
