Overview
This set contains three mini-expansions for the Hollywood board game: Hollywood Awards, Hollywood Scandals and International Film Festivals. You can combine them in different ways, adding all three to the base game at once or adding each one separately.

Hollywood Awards
Additional cards for the Hollywood board game add variety to the game and open up room for new winning combinations, in particular in the fight for the Film of the Year golden figurine. The cards in this mini-expansion have the standard Hollywood base frame for portraits (a circle or a five-pointed star).
Setup
Shuffle the base cards into the base deck and the star cards into the star deck. Then carry out the setup according to the base game rules. Place the 6 Second-Team Directors next to the Worthless Script cards.
Second-Team Director
Like Worthless Scripts, Second-Team Directors have no genre icon.
During Stage 5, Movie Production, a player may, if they wish, take one Second-Team Director. To do so, they must:
- Discard any one of their own cards into the common discard pile (Hollywood Scandals cards may not be discarded).
- Before the box office is tallied, pay as many millions as there are cards in the film in which the Second-Team Director is used (mark the loss of millions on the money tally field).
A player may take only one Second-Team Director during a production year.
Dual-Role Cards
Actor/Director, Actress/Director and Actor/Actress cards act in one of two roles of the player's choice. For example, an Actress/Director can either brilliantly play the role of an actress, or act as a director. But a choice must be made!
Special Staff
Lawyer
During Stage 4, Crew Activities, you must play a Lawyer if you have one. Discard the Lawyer into the common discard pile. Choose a player and name one of three card types: director, actor or actress (Actor/Actress and other dual-role cards also count). If that player has a card of the named type, they must give you one such card or pay you 2 million (in this case, move the tokens on the money tally field).
Critic
The Critic brings in 1 million for each Worthless Script and each Second-Team Director in all of your films made during the current production year.
Location Manager
Brings in an additional 1 golden figurine for each green card in the film, including itself. The figurine icons on the Location Manager card count when determining which film earns the Film of the Year title, but are not counted at the end of the game when calculating the extra box office income from previously won Films of the Year.
Director of Photography
In a film that has a Director of Photography, you may use up to three Actor and/or Actress cards in any combination (instead of the usual two).
Lighting Technician
For a duo of an actor and an actress in a film that has a Lighting Technician, you receive 7 million (instead of 4 million).
Singer
Brings in an additional 1 golden figurine for each coin icon on the cards of the film. The number on the coin icon has no significance: if one of the film's cards has a coin icon with three million, the Singer brings in only 1 golden figurine for that card, not 3. Golden figurine icons earned by the Singer count when determining which film earns the Film of the Year title, but are not counted at the end of the game when calculating the extra box office income from previously won Films of the Year.
Publicist
Golden figurine icons earned by the Publicist count when determining which film earns the Film of the Year title, but are not counted at the end of the game when calculating the extra box office income from previously won Films of the Year.
Teacher
When you add a Teacher to a film, you may add 1 genre icon of your choice to one of the director, actor, actress or assistant director cards in that film. This virtual icon can be used to increase the income from cards with the same genre icon in the film.
Dance Choreographer
Brings in an additional 1 million for each coin icon on the cards of the film. The number on the coin icon has no significance: if one of the film's cards has a coin icon with three million, the Dance Choreographer brings in only 1 additional million for that card, not 3.
Hollywood Scandals
Life at the Dream Factory is full of intrigue and pitfalls. Hollywood Scandals cards intensify the struggle between studios: now you can play a dirty trick on a competitor, and get the same dirty trick back in return. The cards of this mini-expansion can be told apart from all others by the ten-pointed star framing the portrait.
Setup
Shuffle the Hollywood Scandals cards into the main deck of basic cards. Then carry out the setup according to the base game rules.
Changes to Stage 4, Crew Activities
Hollywood Scandals cards may be played during Stage 4, Crew Activities (see page 16 of the base rules).
This stage is played differently than in the base game. Players choose the cards they want to play (Hollywood Scandals cards, as well as Lawyers and Agents) and the rivals against whom they want to play these cards. Played cards are placed face down in front of the chosen rivals. Then the played cards are revealed simultaneously.
A player who receives a card may not pass it to anyone else: at the end of Stage 4 they take that card into their hand.
During Stage 4 you may play as many Hollywood Scandals cards, Lawyers and Agents as you like. If you do not want to play a card at this stage, you keep it.
If a Lawyer or an Agent has been played against you, you may not respond by giving away a Hollywood Scandals card.
Changes to Stage 5, Movie Production
During Stage 5, Movie Production, players must use each Hollywood Scandals card they have in one of their films, if they can do so according to the rules.
A Hollywood Scandals card may not be discarded to take a Worthless Script or a Second-Team Director.
If a player has several Hollywood Scandals cards during Movie Production and, according to the rules, cannot use all of them in their films, they must use the maximum possible number of Hollywood Scandals cards of their choice.
Changes to Stage 6, Box Office Tally
During Stage 6, Box Office Tally, coins with a negative value subtract the indicated number of millions from the box office of the film in which Hollywood Scandals cards were used.
Animator
Actors and Actresses may not be used in a film that has an Animator. The minimum cast of a film in this case is: Script, Director and Animator (the number of additional green Film Crew cards in the film is not limited).
Independent Film Actor and Actress
Special Staff green cards may not be used in the film in which this Independent Film Actor or Actress is playing.
International Film Festivals
Each production year with the Festival cards acquires unique features and will not be like the previous one. The cards of this mini-expansion have purple faces and backs.
Setup
Shuffle the 8 Film Festival cards into a separate deck and place it face down next to the star deck.
Changes to the Base Game Rules
At the start of the production year, before you turn over and lay out the cards from the star deck, turn over the top card of the Film Festival deck. Its ability works for the entire production year.
At the end of the production year, after the box office has been tallied, discard the face-up Film Festival card.
The individual abilities of the Film Festival cards are printed on the cards themselves and are not legible in the source PDF, so they are not reproduced in this rulebook.
