About the game

Revenge of the B-Movie is a fast playing card game for 3-6 players from 'The Giant Brain' and plays in about 30 minutes. Each card in the game has part of a movie title, like 'Cheerleaders' or 'Vampire', on it and falls into one of 6 types; 'Connection','Monster','Make-up','Special Effects','Finale' and 'Intro'. Each card also has a positive or negative cult value in the top right hand corner and perhaps and edit, that can change the cult value under certain conditions, in the bottom right hand corner. The game progresses in a series of rounds consisting of a 'creation' phase and a 'selling' phase. During the creation phase players are dealt cards and build film titles, playing cards into their own films as well as those of other players. After playing any card they can wrap one of their own films to stop people playing cards into it, including themselves. During the selling phase players take it in turns to roll for each of their wrapped films, trying to get under the cult value on a d6. If they succeed they get an amount of money dependent on the cult value and length of the film. The first player to a given amount of money, dependent on the number of players, is the winner.
