About the game

What you do in a play session

In Cannes: Stars, Scripts & Screens, you step into the shoes of a budding movie producer, trying your luck in the glitzy film industry. The goal is simple: produce as many movies as possible and, who knows, maybe snag that coveted award you've always dreamed of. But the path to stardom is anything but easy! You'll need to navigate market trends, which seem to favor plotless action flicks, and perhaps even try to win over critics with your artistic vision. Alternatively, you could leverage your connections within the old boys' network to really get the ball rolling. This game is designed for 2 to 4 ambitious producers, with playtime ranging from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of players and their strategic pace. Get ready to build your network, place your tiles strategically, and manage your resources to bring your next blockbuster to the big screen!
