About the game
Pizza, couch, and friends: you just need a good movie! Like always, you cannot decide which one to watch together. Rely on reviews, imagine movie plots, and choose the perfect title! Will you discuss all night long or come to an agreement? In the co-operative party game Not That Movie! you have to choose the movie among a list of odd titles — but this might be a hard decision if you know only a couple of short reviews! In more detail, players must choose a movie for a "movie night" with friends. What title best fits the review cards? Players can select the movies from a list of eight "broken" titles composed of two movie titles mixed together. The result of these mixes might be brilliant, bizarre, and even weird: laughter is guaranteed! After secretly choosing, players in turn place "Not" tokens near a title they think no one chose. Each correctly placed token scores one point, and you have a free mistake per round. If you make no mistakes, you will score bonus points. You play five rounds and try to beat your previous scores and write your name in the score table. Will you ever reach the maximum of 40 points, with different player counts? Play with more than 25,000 movie titles no one has ever seen! (Note: This design was originally announced as Movie Night but during development the co-operative variant of the game was perfected to became the only official version.) —description from the designer
