Roll Camera!: The Filmmaking Board Game

Players act as producers racing to finish a film before time and budget run out. Each turn they roll custom D6 Crew dice representing departments (camera, light, sound, actor, production design, visual effects) and assign them to actions on a central board or on individual player boards tied to a specific head of department. Dice placement must match geometric arrangements on Shot cards to complete scenes while managing Problems, spending time and money, and playing Idea cards during production meetings to influence outcomes. The group wins by accumulating enough Quality and producing a coherent sequence of completed shots for the final premiere; the game supports solo play or cooperative teamwork.
