Headliner

Created by Chris Couch Games

A music–themed card game of building bands, chasing hype, and stealing the spotlight. Draft the right mix of talent, style, and sound to become the act everyone came to see.

Hey rock stars!

Wow! Y'all have been jamming on our stretch goals and community achievements. We've unlocked Spot UV treatment on the box cover along with a Linen Finish 🤘. And we have two poster giveaways to announce!

Poll Results - Private Jet added

Thanks to everyone for voting in what was a TIGHT race. Private Jet (28) won out with Limo (24) and Helicopter (23) not far behind. The King (and Queen) will arrive in style when you use them in the game 😎.



Our next Stretch Goal - The Queen

Once we reach $10,000 we will add a NEW Headliner to the Wildcards promo, The Queen. Any guesses as to who this character is meant to personify? We will reveal The Queen when we unlock this Stretch Goal!


Poster Giveaway Winners:

Backer #38 - Ian Klein
Backer #190 - Dannstarrplay

Congrats! Please let me know which poster you would like to have added to your pledge, and I will get it included when we launch the Pledge Manager :D (Photos below for Giveaway transparency).




Community Achievement - Like Our Games on BGG's Origin Preview

Chris Couch Games will be at Origins Game Fair in June, and the list of game previews just launched on BGG! I've never asked this before, but other publishers do this quite often, so I thought I'd ask our community. If you're a BGG user, it would be super helpful for me if you can go and give a "like" to our listings on the Origins Preview. This gets our games some attention, and it costs a lot of money for me to travel to Origins. So sales to new customers is usually my priority so I continue to afford getting a booth at these conventions.

  • If we can get 50 likes on Headliner on the preview page, I'll do another Poster Giveaway! 
  • If we can get 50 likes on ALL of our listings, I'll give away one Custom Card pledge to a backer!

Additional copy of Headliner Add-On

I realized that I did not provide the option for you to purchase additional copies of Headliner as an Add-On. If you would like to, you now can.


Happy Mother's Day!

Most importantly, I want to wish all the moms a Happy Mother's Day. Our team at CCG includes three mom's and they've been so kind to always open their home up for our crew to meet and discuss the business. So thanks to Meaghan, Natalie, and Marlene! A special thanks to my mom. She is the most talented artist, illustrator, painter, I've ever seen. I used to watch her do her art as a kid on and off the computer, and she is the main reason I have creativity and entrepreneurship in my blood. Love you mom!! :) 

Have a great day everyone, and thanks again for your support of Headliner.

Kick Back and Play,
Chris P. and the CCG team

Funded Day One! + Backer Vote + Poster Giveaways + Stretch Goals 🥁
about 1 month ago – Fri, May 08, 2026 at 01:16:49 PM

Hey rock stars!


Wow, what a first day! We fully funded within 3 hours of launch thanks to over 100 backers, and have been making a steady pace ever since. We're so thrilled with the response to Headliner, thank you so much! Thanks to over

The campaign is over $5,000 and headed towards unlocking our first Stretch Goal: Linen Box Finish! At the $6,000 mark, we'll upgrade the box for all backers. 🤘

New Poll!

We've revealed "The King" as a Headliner card for the Wildcards Promo! Now, you backers get to decide what you'd like to see him and his band roll up in for each performance. This will be a screenprinted wooden component. Click the Community tab to find the poll, or vote below!



Poster Giveaways for Community Achievements 

We're looking for more people to join the band! Blake has created some wicked posters that showcase the art and characters in the game. For every 50-backer milestone we hit (starting at 150), one lucky backer will get a free poster with their pledge!

It's a perfect time to hop into the campaign if you're on the fence, or share the campaign to help grow the squad!


Thanks again for all of your support. Headliner is going to be a reality thanks to YOU. Let me know in the comments what you're looking forward to learning more about Headliner, or what games you're playing this weekend.
