COME TOGETHER
Born hippy

It’s the tail end of the sixties and a mixture of America’s coolest and most annoying young people want to listen to live music outdoors. For those in search of profit, this heady mix of revolution and free love makes for excellent campaigning weather. Thus you and your fellow players set out to stage rival festivals – apparently over the same weekend – in order to bilk sundry hippies, funk fans and country music aficionados for as much money as possible.
Come Together is a game of worker placement and acquiring cards from a suite of tableaus. Over three rounds, representing a three-day festival, you’re going to grab cards that let you expand your camping capacity, construct new stages, hire acts and bring in punters with differing musical tastes. At the end of each day, you’ll need to assign each act to a stage and populate the crowd with the right mix of audience members.
