About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to be the quietest storyboard editor in Hollywood with 'Moving Pictures'! In this super-fast cooperative game (20 minutes to play!), you and a friend take on the mission of organizing movie scenes that are in total chaos. Think silent film, but with cards: the numbered scenes need to go in the right order on the timeline, and the budget is running out! The catch? You can't talk or give each other hints. It's about watching your partner's game, trying to guess their move, and hoping it works out. Each card played has an effect that can mess things up or, perhaps, give you a chance to communicate. The game is divided into 3 acts, and with each act, the timeline grows, making everything harder. If the order goes wrong, you have 2 'deleted scenes' to use, like a wild card to hide a misplaced card. But be careful, these scenes don't refresh! Made two mistakes? Game over, the credits roll, and you lose. Perfect for those who enjoy a communication and quick-thinking challenge, with a silent film vibe and lots of hoping for the best.
