Description
Reiner Knizia presents an exciting auction game centered around movie production. Over four rounds, players bid on chips representing real - life directors, actors, camera equipment, special effects, music, guest stars, and agents. These chips are placed on players' film - strips to complete movie projects. Each movie has unique requirements, like needing 2 actors but no music or effects. As movies are finished, points are marked, and a new film - strip is taken. There are two free - pick opportunities each round. Bonuses are available for the first completed films, best films, best directors, and even the worst film. The auction uses a basic rising - offer system with passing until a single winner remains. Players use contracts as money to bid into a pot, and the pot is shared among players each turn. It's a closed - economy game where players must time their bids wisely to complete their movies.
How to play: In this game, you'll go through four rounds. At the start of each round, start bidding on the chips that represent different movie - making elements. Place these chips on your film - strip according to the movie's requirements. Once your movie is complete, mark the points. There are two times each round when you can pick a chip for free. Keep an eye on the bonus criteria and aim for those extra points. Regarding the auction, bid when you think it's the right time and use your contracts as money. Note: Make sure to understand each movie's specific requirements before placing chips on your film - strip. Also, since it's a closed - economy game, manage your contracts carefully. Maintenance: As this is a board game, keep the chips and film - strips in a dry place to prevent damage. If the game pieces get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
