What is Red Carpet

The stars shine on the red carpet. Once again, the Academy Awards ceremony is held and as a photographer you have the goal of capturing the best portraits of the most famous figures from the golden age of Hollywood. Get a good spot, find the perfect angle and take the photos that will be on the front pages of all the newspapers tomorrow.

In Red Carpet, you play as a photographer who seeks to capture the best portraits of the celebrities who arrive in limousines and parade down the red carpet to the awards gala. Players will use their mobile phone, which they will place on pedestals around the board, to take the photos. Depending on a number of criteria (whether the celebrity is facing forward, whether they are in the foreground, whether there is advertising in the background, etc.), you will add or subtract points for each portrait. You will also influence the awards by voting for your favourite nominees in each category, and at the crucial moment of the awards ceremony, the value of the winners' portraits will be doubled.

In each turn, players will use cards to perform various actions, such as placing their tripod in a space in the press area or moving the characters parading down the red carpet. In addition to the celebrities, there will also be anonymous people in the scene, so it will be key to get the best angle to take the best portraits.
