💥 The Competition Is On
It’s the 1990s: Poly-bags, foil covers, and overhyped “collector’s editions” are everywhere.
In Comic Book Boom!, you’re a publisher chasing fortune in the era when every issue could sell a million copies — or crash the market entirely.
Each round you’ll:
Publish comics with explosive ‘90s themes, like Cyborgs, Ninjas, and Big Guns!
Enhance them with collectible gimmicks, like Hologram Covers and Poly-Bags.
Promote them with wild stunts, like Anniversary Issues and Crossover Events.
But push the hype too far and the bubble will burst, wiping out your profits!
⚡️ Fun, Fast & Fierce
Play simultaneously, keeping the pace snappy and the table lively.
Every decision feels risky—will your stunts ride the wave or crash the market?
"OMGOSH is it SO MUCH FUN!!! Played it once and was ready to reshuffle and play again!"
— @Meeple_Grande_Gamer_Geeks
“Simultaneous play makes it fast and chaotic in the best way.”
— Rolling with the Beard
“Easy to teach, bright, funny, and surprisingly deep.”
— Merry Married Meeples
