What is Nina Normal viewing today?
In three rounds, movies are screened, and you try to get four of your own visitors into the best seats; they want to see a movie in their favorite genre and sit next to nice people. The better you meet those demands the more points you score.
Depending on the number of players, you lay out a cinema of 2-4 rows of seats plus lobby with cash booths and red carpet; your meeple begins at the start of the red carpet and you stack 16 different visitor cards; you begin by drawing four cards in hand, and also hold three tickets for point level markers.
You play a person from hand on a free seat, Ken Krawall and Sophie Schnulze also on taken seats, check on the person’s preferred genre and move two steps on the red carpet for correlation; then you draw a card. When all seats in the cinema are taken, you score Enjoyment points for seats and effects of seat neighbors for steps on the red carpet. Some persons have effects on themselves, too, or only such effects. The variant Director’s Cut uses 12 persons that are used by all players.
The bonus material of the Special Guests promo - included in the game - introduces four new visitors for each player. You can shuffle them all into your deck or jointly eliminate persons from play or secretly assemble your personal group of visitors.
It is the topic that provides the fun here, because it is close to reality and very painstakingly implemented – you lose points if you sit behind the tall guy or beside the girl that keeps giggling, and the seats at the back in the middle of the row are the best. Otherwise, you usually „must“ do what the cards in hand let you do, and yes, you can be a bit mean, too.
