INCONCEIVABLE!

there's simply not enough time to get the project done out of the gate. as the game progresses, you're constantly looking for ways to claw back schedule, so the game definitely last longer than it first appears. but it's true that the higher the player count, the fewer total turns any one player will take.

not sure, but you could ask at the publisher's website :) www.keenbean.studio/contact.html

Or a triple?

yeah, the main co-op element of the game is the meetings, and setting dice up to be used on the next player's turn :)

Mirroring is not allowed. To shoot a scene, the crew dice on set can be in any rotation but can't be mirrored.

the designer has updated the rules and mirroring is allowed (as well as using VFX on not set actions as a wild) :)

you might want to check the kickstarter page. i crank my contrast up pretty high to get the black background (hiding all of the imperfections in my table top) which does wash out bright areas a bit... :)

We have tried variations on the board art with splashes of color, but it ended up reducing visibility on the worker placement spots. It's definitely a possibility though if I can find a way to do it that doesn't interfere with gameplay! One thing that's nice about this version is that it fills up with color as you add set pieces and scene cards. But I hear you on that!

Malachi Rempen my first thought was have the center of the board be an aerial view of a studio lot and then to make the work spaces more legible you could have them placed on the rooftops of their respective buildings. Giving you a natural border for their text and placement spots so they read as separate from the rest of the board. Less laboriously, just adding a cork board color and texture under the scenes in progress section would help or just doing some neutral solid color in the center of the board. Like you did in the backgrounds of the player boards. Again borders could be your friend here in terms of separating important information and worker spaces from the rest of the board. You could have worker space info written as if it were on signs? Might be worth looking at other worker placement games to see how they do it like viticulture, the gallerist, lords of Waterdeep, Champions of Midgard, etc. Could give you some good ideas.

@@Atlasfilms08 Thanks! Great ideas. Yes, I have looked at other worker placement games of course, but somehow all my own designs just end up looking busy. The original intention was exactly as you say, to look like a top-down back lot. Couldn't quite crack that design though. I'll keep at it, maybe I'll find a way.

you didn't turn on the klingon subtitles like Richard said at the start of the video

Paulo Renato my bad

you can always intern and use ideas. if you don't roll 'em, you gotta find clever solutions with what you do get :)

@@rahdo i thought a bit more after watching your video, yeah agree. Backed.

That's the joke.
