Facade Games will release Hollywood 1947, a new social deduction game, into retail on October 13, 2023.
In this game, players are members of the movie industry in late 1940s Hollywood, and Communists are suspected to have infiltrated their studio. The Communists have been covertly hiding unpatriotic messages, themes, and lines into the studio’s movies and must be exposed before the government shuts the studio down. Players take on the secret roles of a Patriot, Communist, or Rising Star, and must perform unique jobs in a production such as Screenwriter, Gaffer, Director, Actor, or Editor.
They will use their position to affect how the movie is made, adhering to their true allegiance, and attempt to win rounds of production by having the most matching symbols on the cards that they have inserted into a movie. The first team to win four rounds is the victor. This game is for one to four players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 20 to 40 minutes. It will retail for $24.99.
Facade Games are also the makers of Salem 1692, Tortuga 1667, Deadwood 1876, and Bristol 1350 (see “‘Bristol 1350’“).
