Today, we spotlight Avalon Hill’s TV Wars, a satirical strategy game that drops players into the chaotic world of network television programming. Released during the late 1980s, TV Wars challenges two to four players to build the most successful broadcast empire by acquiring shows, managing budgets, navigating audience demographics, and competing for ratings across primetime slots.

Each player plays one of four semi-fictional TV networks, and the goal is to end up with the most money when the game ends (which is either when only one network is left on the air, or when certain tiles run out). Players move pawns around a standard square-track board, with spaces that trigger various events -- drawing an event card, auctioning off a new TV show or star or academy award movie, or triggering a ratings war. During a ratings war, players lay out the tiles representing their prime-time line-up of shows and movies, along with bonuses for stars and reviews. Shows with the lowest ratings in their time slot are cancelled, and when a network has no shows left, it goes off the air and the player is out of the game.
