Schmovie (2013)

About this game

What would you call a horror film about an evil booger? A sci-fi about a gangsta lunch lady? A romantic comedy about a clumsy proctologist? In Schmovie, you're trying to convince others that you have the best title ever for whatever concept is being pitched to the producers. What's the actual storyline? Doesn't matter – the title is what's important, so put your all into making something memorable! Each round, you'll roll the genre die (which has sci-fi, rom-com, horror, action, drama and producer's choice), then draw two premise cards, one What? and one Who?. The combination of those three items gives you the concept for the movie. Now you just need to come up with a title. Do a good job, and you'll win a schquid trophy; collect enough trophies, and you'll win the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 99.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
