Drei Blockbuster pro Jahr

You are boss of a film studio and want to produce blockbusters. A film must include script and director and can include a maximum of two actors in and mixture and any number of crew members. The minimum number of cards for a film is three - script, director and actor. Films are produced in four genres - love story, comedy, action and thriller; when the script shows a genre and the other cards correspond to the genre, the film is more valuable. As you hold nine cards at the end of a year you can produce up to three films; if necessary you can acquire a “valueless script” without genre by swapping another card for it. One production year comprises: Face-down handing out of one star card for each player by the player entitled to do so after looking at them. Then you draft your seven basic cards until you hold seven again by keeping one card and handing the others on. In an auction you then bid for the ninth card; if necessary several auctions are held until each player has one card.

Then you play crew activities, including cards for later publishing, and then you make up the best possible film or films in the production phase and the revenues for your films are paid out. If you have most figurine symbols on your cards you win the price of „Film of the Year“, entitling you hand out the star cards in the next year. Finally, cards are discarded, if necessary and new cards are dealt. After three such years you win with most money.

A very good game with lots of tactics from drafting cards, auctions and handing out of star cards; as you lose money you bid in case of ties you need to consider your bids carefully.
