Channel WON (2023)

Overview

This just in! You are a budding reporter for Channel WON News and you are so close to catching that big break! The network has decided to bring a fresh new face to their news anchor desk and you are the final candidates. Channel WON has decided to put their reporters to the test in a one-day, all-out showdown to see who is the best reporter to land the job of prime time news anchor! Your goal is to travel the city, gather sources, and help report the best news stories of the day.

Channel WON is a semi-cooperative card game played over three rounds, Morning, Evening, and Nightly news. In each round, players will collect cards needed to report on leads revealed to them by the station head. Players will need to work together to add location visits and sources to each lead in the day’s lineups in order to report stories, but once a story is locked in for editing, only players who helped contribute to it receive credit. Build up your reputation while discrediting your opponents, but be careful! If any lead goes unreported or a story is inaccurate, the network ratings will fall.

Fall below a one star rating and Channel WON becomes Channel None and you all lose! Earn the most points after three rounds and you will be labeled the newest anchor for Channel WON. Resort to anything to report everything!
