Hello!
Elenco is now in public alpha on BGA. You are the director of a theatre company, and over 5 Shows you try to earn the most Ovations and the fewest Boos.
How it plays Each Show, every player gets two Characters face up and a Script that sets the turn order. You secretly keep one Character and pick one Action from your own deck. Each Action can only be used once per game. Then everyone acts in turn: Actions raise your score or lower your rivals'. The highest-scoring performance earns an Ovation
and the lowest earns a Boo 
. Remembering what your rivals have already played is half the game.
Modes
Standard, 3–5 players
Famous variant: adds a Fame token that rewards or punishes matching choices
Teams, 2 vs 2 with 4 players (pairings can be chosen in the table options)
Duel, 2 players: a race to win the majority of Shows (best of 3 or 5)

I'm especially interested in feedback on:
Teams and Duel modes with real players
Spectator mode
Mobile / touch screens and browsers other than Chrome
Bugs and suggestions through the BGA report system, please.
Thanks, and break a leg!
