About the game
Your team of photographers have been hired to do a photoshoot of a group of celebrities. Their time is precious, and these celebrities will not let themselves be easily placed! Be quick and meticulous to become the best team of photographers. In turns, two teams must complete the most photograph objectives during a limited amount of time. In order to do so, all players of a team will, in turn, swap Character tiles without consulting each other. During the game, they must follow the conditions imposed by the celebrities under the inflexible eye of the opposite team.

Questions and answers
Photoshoot supports 2–6 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 Photoshoot is 25–35 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 Photoshoot 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.
Photoshoot 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.
