Motion Pictures: Movies Out of Cardboard

Motion Pictures is a card game that uses a hand management mechanism with strong set collection and deck building elements.

At the beginning of the game, we have several available projects for the players to compete in. Every turn a player can choose between three actions: shoot, hire and recast. While shooting, a player places a filmmaker at an available project. If a project's requirements are met the player places the completed project in his score pile. When hiring, a player takes an advanced filmmaker into his hand from the advance row by discarding another filmmaker of the same specialty. Advance filmmakers have multiple skills and special abilities.

When hiring, a player takes an advanced filmmaker into his hand from the advance row by discarding another filmmaker of the same specialty. Advance filmmakers have multiple skills and special abilities. Using the recast action, a player can draw a new card from his deck by discarding any one card from his hand. The four types of projects have different requirements. Movies need skills, based on their difficulty. Tv series need a defined number of skills while excluding some in particular. Commercials need specialties, not specific skills, whereas awards need exactly the skills shown on them and nothing more. Finally, there is also the trilogy in which all players can place filmmakers in secret during the course of the whole game and gain fame at the end according to the skills played.
