What this is
Dazzle the London crowds as they write, cast and stage their play in one glorious week. After players take actions, they check the individual ambience level in their theater, gaining or losing points or rehearsal time depending on the atmosphere. In Shakespeare, players are theater managers who must recruit actors, craftsmen, jewelers and others in order to assemble everything needed for the play's performance at week's end.
