You are a film producer and your aim is to make top quality, successful movies that will gross the most money possible at the box office. You run around the board trying to collect a Story, a Director, a Male and a Female Film Star and of course the relevant number of Locations. You have a choice of Epic, Historical, Comedy, Musical, Western or Horror films, and each Star is best cast in a particular type of movie. Directors are of varying quality as well. The number of Locations required also depends on the film type. The bigger your production, the greater its money making potential. Borrowing from Monopoly, there are also Distribution Company squares that act sort of like the Water or Electric Companies; the income from the Distribution Companies is raked in every time a player stops on such a square, and increases with that player's filmography. The rest of the board is the expected Oscar or Flop, Star Trouble, Retake, Director Loss, etc. A light, reasonably fun game.
