Extra! Extra! is all about completing the front and back pages of a newspaper; with a mixture of stories of different sizes. The larger the story; the better. Players score bonus points for stories in their speciality; extra material; interviews; and headlines.
In the game; players collect news in six newsworthy subjects: home; world; business; politics; sport; and leisure. To do this; they place their reporters on the news they want to publish; but they can be outbid by other newspaper owners with bigger wallets. Copy and photo cuttings can be obtained from “the morgue”; more reporters can be hired; and news sold to raise capital.
Whoever completes his front and back pages first receives a bonus – but will that player have enough Circulation Points to win?
