Picture Perfect

Players arrange fourteen characters for a single group photograph, trying to satisfy each character’s three hidden preferences about position and neighbors. Preferences are secret in envelopes; during the game players peek at or trade information and sometimes withhold it to influence placement. Turns involve revealing, sharing, and positioning character tiles to maximize fulfilled desires. The player who causes the most wishes to be met scores the most points and wins.

    Tier 3- Very good but with a few minor flaws, still enjoyable for many (5-10) plays I had mixed expectations from this game going in based on what I had seen and the visuals. I love the concept— a deduction game around taking a group picture! However the poor art quality / aesthetic plus the weird box cover art which makes it (unintentionally) seem like a giant woman is smiling down at 2 cake-topper dolls before she gobbles them up? (ugh!) is equally hilarious and a turn-off. We played the version without using the table stuff as currency /bidding. I usually prefer to play the "full" version of any game, but I cannot help but feel the bidding/negotiating would just make this game tedious and boring. The game was great as is and quite fun. It has a bit of memory (which i dislike) but barely, and did not bother me. If the art and components (see-through plastic standees instead of opaque cardboard ones are a must) were better, this could bump up for me. I would stil want to try the full version at some point.

    The deduction is fun, if basic. I wish the information stages were a little smoother.

    First game took long time because the rules are not clear, but after that following games will be very quick. It's a very unique design, so happy to have played this one, but at the end it's not very interesting, will not play it again.
