Movie Plotz will see a horse walk into a steam-punk western town with a Cyborg Chuck Norris followed by the cast of Red Dwarf…
Yep…
A wild game that allows your group to create hilarious fake movie story lines, then pitch them out loud for maximum laughs.
Not much to say about this, it’s not a ‘game’ but fun all the less. Apparently, there are rules for scoring but forget them, just play and enjoy.
Someone names a simple plot to a movie, maybe a real movie plot or one made up.
Then, the next player draws a card and incorporates it into the ‘Pitch’ by updating or expanding the story.
This goes around the table until the deck runs out with the story getting bigger, longer and more extravagant.
There were a lot of laughs while playing it even though it’s a very simple ‘game’.
Movie Plotz Update 06/06/2018
I’m not a fan of these games really. I’ve played story games like Once Upon a Time which has a bit of a game to it. I like the sound of Aye Dark Overlord but it’s not a game I would seek out to play.
When looking at this kind of game, one where you have to speak. There is a kind that I would like to play.
The salesmen games like Snake Oil and But Wait, There’s More! In these games, you have a product to sell and you need to convince people to buy it. I would much prefer this kind of game than just telling a story like in Movie Plotz. I like the idea of improvisation more than the telling of a tale.
Even then, I would rather play a different kind of speaking game if I’m honest. Something like Obama Llama where you creatively give clues in the verbal rounds or even Articulate.
Like I said about Once Upon a time, I’m too shy for games like this, no matter how fun they are.
