About the game
Five movies are being produced, and players each have a more or less high investment in them. Players with high investment play cards to increase the movie's success, while your opponents may play the same cards to ensure its failure. Cards can influence one or two movies, or they can cause other cards to be moved from the "Top" side to the "Flop" side or vice-versa. The player who has the most investment in the most successful movies is the winner.
