A game by
Joris Wiersinga, Jeroen Doumen, Tamara Jannink and Herman Haverkort
It's the big screen, and you're playing in the big league. Well, nearly. Maybe this year you'll make it big… Nominations are due to be published any day now, and hey, who knows, maybe you will finally get that Oscar or Palme dÓr you so deserve. Or will you? They say girlie movies like you've been making lately are going out of fashion, that the modern public has a yearning for plotless action titles. Maybe it is time to invite that rotten art critic over for drinks, and convince her of the value of your masterpieces… or tune into the old boys network and really get the show on the road. In Cannes - Stars, Scripts and Screens, each player takes the role of a small-time movie producer, trying to produce as many movies as possible. The game can be played by 2 to 4 people and takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of players and their gaming experience. The game contains 43 tiles which make the game board, a number of markers representing beer, people, films etc., for each player a week schedule and five wooden rods, and several other parts. The rules are in English, Dutch and German. This game is available by mail-order (see order forms). For opinions on this game see Board Game Geek (photos, session reports), Counter Magazine (review) and in Matthew's Game Log.
