New Rock & Roll Brouhaha Expansion - The Tone Wars

  

It started with one simple overdrive pedal. Then another.

Soon, Evan’s studio apartment was a shrine to signal processing. His shelves were lined with glowing stompboxes, each promising tonal transcendence. Not to be outdone, bassist Alejandro expanded his range (and his chiropractor bill) with a 22-string electric bass. It was an instrument with a neck so wide that navy jets could land on it.

This obsession with gear spread through the bandmates like power surges through a poorly grounded amp. Quinn became entranced by the ceremonial gong behind the counter at Miss Ruby’s Drum Parlour. He would not rest until it was his. Monique, the band’s Synth Sorceress, arrived at rehearsal one night cradling a theremin like a newborn deity. It was then that Evan realized: The band had succumbed to Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

This relentless pursuit of tone would reach its crescendo on the rooftop of The Penwick Building downtown. This is where the band would make its final glorious stand…

Evan looked around as Quinn's gong reverberated ominously. He wondered how the mix sounded down on street level. He wondered if their 7 power strips might overload the single rooftop outlet. Mostly, he wondered how he was going to explain next month's credit card statement to his Fiancée.

Garage A Trois

Garage à Trois

Garage à Trois adds a full third deck to the Brouhahaverse.

This set continues the musical misadventures of all your favorite R&RB musicians and introduces new bands like perpetually garage-bound Scromit Romney and open-mic stalwarts The Rail-Roaders.

Meet Lem, Pittsburgh’s most dedicated garage band leader. Sure, his last three gigs ended in disaster: First the amplifier meltdown, then the wardrobe malfunction, and finally the unfortunate mishap with the fog machine. But this year? This year is his year.

With nothing left to lose, can Lem keep his scrappy band of oddballs together long enough to perform a set at the city’s upcoming music festival?  Will Lem finish writing his magnum opus?  Will he move out of his mom’s basement?  Will Gina, his singer, ever notice him? Let’s find out together.

Rock & Roll Brouhaha Review by Poultergeist Board Games

Unboxing and Review Video

Assemble Your Band

Rock & Roll Brouhaha is an asymmetric, customizable, expandable card game, in which players assume the role of band managers who are tasked with assembling musicians, buying musical gear, looking for gigs and scheduling venues for their bands.

The Story So Far

The spotlight shone brightly on Ziggy Moonglow as her fingers blazed across the Star-Kindler’s maple fretboard. You beamed in pride as 88 Extremities, the band that you had assembled for this prestigious gig at the exclusive Holla-Deck Club, totally rocked the house. Backing Ziggy was Mickey "Mouse" Jones on bass and Danny Doublestar, formerly of Armashreddon, on drums. The masterstroke of the line-up was the addition of MC Hovercraft, who took the band's sound in a whole new direction. The capacity crowd swayed in rapt attention as 88 Extremities broke into a funk-metal groove. And this was just the start. This band could really go places, especially with you calling the shots...

About Me

My name is Shirky. I'm an active musician, performing in and around Berks County, PA. I live literally around the corner from where Taylor Swift strummed her first guitar chords, and a mile from where March King John Philip Sousa reached his final double-bar.


As a musician and gamer, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Rock & Roll Brouhaha. It's filled with immersive, authentic challenges that real musicians encounter. I've also included many hidden easter eggs from my own musical adventures.
