High School Drama! is a card game created by Boyan Radakovich and introduced in 2006 by Shifting Skies Games at the South California GenCon.[1] High School Drama! can be played by two to five players using a single box set, as it contains the all the cards and game pieces required.[2]
The game represents a media-stereotyped passage of American high school life, with players assuming the roles of ambitious students who seek to become the most socially successful individual of their graduating class.[3] Score points are symbolized as yearbook signatures and are awarded through factors such as having the most friends, connection to extracurricular clubs, and random event cards. It bears features common to collectible card games such as Magic: The Gathering in game play execution, but it is not a trading card product.[4]
High School Drama! was a nominated finalist for the 2007 Origins Award in the category of Best Non-Collectible Card Game.[5] There is possibility of future optional expansion packs to the core game, adding additional cards and providing greater diversity.[6]
