Guide Review - American Idol Board Game
Players roll a die and move, collecting cards. Sometimes, they're allowed to trade a card with another player. Eventually, the get the cards needed to move to the Finalist area and, when a second player arrives, to the Grand Finale area.
They then roll two dice, sing along to the corresponding song (song #7, which will come up the most, is Britney Spears' "Oops I Did It Again"), and then a Telephone Votes card is drawn to see whether the player moves forward or backward.
That's it. No thought or skill required. A completely mindless experience that I cannot imagine will satisfy anyone, even the most diehard Idol fans.
