In this midweight and thematic Eurogame, players are independent newspaper reporters gathering sources, writing articles to meet deadlines, earning a reputation, and improving the circulation of competing newspaper companies.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/talonstrikes.games\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cover-01.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Byline is a unique worker placement game based on 1 to 4 players that plays in 60 to 90 minutes. It is 1960. The world is brimming with news waiting for independent reporters to capture them into newsprint. Byline puts the player into the role of an independent newspaper reporter, trying to elevate their reputation as well as the popularity of the major newspaper outlets. Players have seven hours a day that they must use wisely to outmanoeuvre other journalists! Find the best sources, validate those sources, complete articles, earn a reputation, and improve the circulation of competing newspaper companies. Byline finished second place in 2020&#8217;s Cardboard Edison Unpublished Games Competition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Core Information<\/strong><br \/>\nTheme: Newspaper Reporting<br \/>\nNumber of Players: 1 to 4 Players<br \/>\nPlaying Time: 60-90 minutes<br \/>\nAges: 12 and up<br \/>\nCore Mechanics: Worker Placement, Planning<\/p>\n<p>\u201cByline has an interesting take on the worker placement genre. Rather than placing workers in a space to take an action, players commit hours in a day to complete actions and can potentially<br \/>\ncombo the actions completed in a round. Timing is key in this game. Many people have been quite taken with the theme of this game. Something is exciting about the golden age of independent<br \/>\ninvestigative journalism. Many people liked the idea that players could choose to be ethical and fact\u0002check their sources or choose an unethical path printing possible untruths or total lies. Your reputation is on the line and can be leveraged in the game to take actions or multiplied at the end of the game for additional points.\u201d said Owner Eric Alvarado.&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8222;Talon Strikes Studios announces \u201cByline\u201d a worker placement game with a twist by Derek Lovell.
