In Battle of the Boy Bands, 3 to 5 players take on the role of producers in the pop music industry and must put together boy bands to participate in special events. The player with the most points at the end of six rounds wins.

During each round, players try to win the in-game event by assembling the boy band that will earn the most points according to the special event rules. Equipping perks from the “Breaking News” deck can earn them extra points. Players can sabotage each other's boy bands by playing attack cards from the "Breaking News" deck against them, but be careful! Players can also protect their precious boys with defense cards!
