About the game
The film festival is about to start but... horrifying! The rolls have been mixed up! Gather and deliver the films to save the festival. Welcome to the cat horror film festival! The lights are out and the action is on, but…horror! Looks like someone has made a mess and the film reels have gotten mixed up! Your mission is to save the cat disaster festival before it's too late. Fulfill the requests of our cute ushers, they will ask you how many reels are missing for each movie and we will make the festival a success. This is a game for 2 to 4 people with games of about 30 minutes divided into rounds by objectives. At the beginning of the game 3 random objectives will be shown and the game will begin. There are 7 different objectives, of which 3 will be played in a game. Each objective card indicates how many different films are needed and how many rolls of film are needed of each. Each player will take their turn until someone manages to complete an objective. The first player to achieve all three objectives will win the game.
