Aim
To win, you need to collect 5 Star cards!
You can get a Star card in 3 ways:
- On TAKE A STAR spaces
- From Action cards
- Buy one for a whopping 3M!
If you're the first to get 5 Star cards, make your way to the closest THE END space and win!
How to play
The youngest player starts, then play continues clockwise.
On your turn
-
Buy one Entourage card (if you want).
- Pay the bank 200K.
- Take the top 2 Entourage cards.
- Choose your favorite to keep, and return the other to the bottom of the pile.
- Put a silver Entourage peg in your car.
-
Spin and move.
- Spin the spinner.
- Move your car forward that number of spaces.
-
Collect your salary if you pass a PAYDAY. You don't need to land on PAYDAY to get your salary. Your Career card tells you how much salary to take from the bank.
-
Where did you land? Check what each space does when you land on it. See Board Spaces below. Example: an Action space means take an Action card.
-
That's it! Your turn is over, and the player to your left plays next.
Start playing!
That's all you need to know, so get going. Look up the spaces when you land on them.
TOP TIP! Buy Entourage cards and head to VIP areas to get more stars!
Board Spaces
Pass over a PAYDAY space?
Collect your salary! Your salary depends on how many Star cards you have. Check your Career card.
Land on PAYDAY? Woo-hoo! Collect double your salary from the bank.
Run out of money? Just pay what you can. Your turn is then over, but you're still in the game.
ACTION spaces (the blank spaces across the whole board)
- Take an Action card.
- Read it out loud and do what it says.
- Take an Action card on gold, diamond, and red carpet paths and if you land on the START space again.
VIP ENTRANCE spaces
When you reach a split in the path, go into the VIP area if you have the correct Entourage.
The VIP area has more Star cards to win!
If your roll lands your car here, take an Action card.
TAKE A STAR spaces
Take a Star card. Now you're one Star closer to winning! And you get paid more!
SPIN TO WIN® spaces
These are ALL PLAY spaces.
- Everyone checks the SPIN TO WIN® numbers on their Entourage cards.
- Spin the spinner. Any player with the number that comes up wins the prize on the space.
- Keep spinning until someone's number comes up.
- If you landed here, take an Action card.
The STOP space
- STOP immediately when you reach this space (even if you have moves left).
- Turn over the next gold board segment that is unoccupied (has no cars on it) to unlock the Red Carpet side. Congratulations! You've hit the big time!
- Spin again to work the Red Carpet.
THE END spaces
Go to this space once you've got 5 Star cards. The first player here with 5 Stars wins!
Congratulations! You're a MEGASTAR!
Your Entourage
Your Entourage is your support team. You can buy one Entourage card at the start of each turn for 200K.
The Entourage cards are:
| Card | SPIN TO WIN® number |
|---|---|
| Personal Assistant | 1 |
| Agent | 2 |
| Stylist | 3 |
| Personal Shopper | 4 |
| Photographer | 5 |
| Chef | 6 |
| Bodyguard | 7 |
| Publicist | 8 |
| Fitness Trainer | 9 |
| Pilot | 10 |
They get you into VIP areas!
Check who gets you access.
They play SPIN TO WIN®!
If the number on one of your Entourage cards comes up, you win the prize listed on the space.
And ride in your car!
Put a silver peg in your car every time you take an Entourage card.
You can only fit 8 Entourage pegs in your car, so you don't want 2 of the same!
Keep your friends around you, and fill your car with Entourage members!
Winning
Once you've got 5 Star cards, get to the closest THE END space.
You don't have to get there by exact number. (If your spin takes you past it, you can stop there.)
The first player with 5 Star cards to land on THE END is the winner!
