Showbiz is a board game published by Prestige Games in 1984. Its Gameplay section states plainly that 'Showbiz is a strategy game.' The title drew notice in the hobby press of the period, with coverage recorded in Games magazine issue 50 (April 1984) and a later look back in Strategy Plus issue 2 (1990). Its Wikipedia entry remains an orphaned stub with no further detail on its specific theme, mechanics or player count beyond its classification as a strategy game. It is catalogued among board games introduced in 1984 and the small run of titles issued under the Prestige Games imprint. Further depth is outstanding for a later research pass.
