About the game
In a world... where players make their own movies, using just 12 cards and their wild imaginations. Starring [insert actor here] and written by [insert your name here], the games you play will leave you laughing, crying, and forever changed. It's time to make some movies! A book featuring 20+ ways to play the game. Some great team building and competitive variants in there. Alex has been hard at work making LOTS of variations on Movie Plotz. There's a 2 player "Gotcha Game" where players must force cards on their opponent, a team "Combo Pitch" where teams huddle up and hone their pitch before presenting it in a head-to-head battle of scripts, a "Classroom Edition" where a student starts the movie and passes it on, and many more.
