About the game
Films is an 18-card microgame in which two players take on the role of the heads of major film studios. Using the "Simultaneous Action Selection" mechanic, where the player who needs the fewest weeks of pre-production work will choose first, players will hire the best possible crew, search for the perfect script, fight for big prizes, and try to avoid negative reviews and production problems. At the end of the game, whoever manages to sell the most millions of tickets for their film will be the winner.

Questions and answers
Films supports 1–2 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Films is 10–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Films for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Films has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
