A standalone 2-player version of The Networks. Much of the original's gameplay is preserved, but streamlined. TV executives compete for stars, shows, and ads to ensure their network is #1.
You and your opponent each have a display of 3 Timeslots, and at the start of the game, they show your starting 3 (terrible) Shows. On your turn, you will pick one new Show from a display of 3, and use it to replace one of your existing Shows, which moves to your Reruns. You'll score Ratings Points for the new Show, scoring higher ratings if you put the show in its correct timeslot. There is also a Goal Card showing for the current Season. The winner of each Goal gets Viewers or Stars depending on the goal. The game ends after 3 Seasons. The player with more cards in their Green Room scores 1 Viewer. Then, the player with the most Viewers wins.
Warnings: The event was originally listed with rules of "The Rival Networks (1st)." It has been changed to "Rival Networks, The (1st Edition)."
