Friday Night Spookdown S23: Sponsored by Trick or Treat Studios: Nightmare Productions

Friday Night Smackdown is our once-a-month event where we play a tournament of a game giving the winner a chance to walk away with a free copy. This month we are playing Nightmare Productions sponsored by our friends at Trick or Treat Studios a $59.99 game you can win for free.

Nightmare Productions: 7.1

Reiner Knizia's auction game about producing movies. In four rounds, players bid on chips representing genuine directors, actors, cameras, effects, music, guest stars, and agents (or in Nightmare Productions edition: creatures, locations, directors, musical conductors, cameos, and contractors). These all get placed on players' film strips to complete the movie production. So one movie might need 2 actors (in editions prior to Nightmare Productions), but no music or effects, and so on. As films are completed, the points value is marked and another film strip is taken. There are two parties (in Nightmare Productions edition: horror cons) each round where players get to pick from offers without paying anything. There are bonus points for the first films completed and best films, best directors (in Nightmare Productions edition: best creatures), even the worst films.

The auction is a basic rising offer with passing until one winning bid remains. Players pay into the pot with contracts (in Nightmare Productions edition: money), and the rest of the players share the pot each turn. So it's a closed economy with players trying to time to bid on what they really need to complete films.

Join us on October 20th @ 7:00 pm for Season 23 of our Friday Night Smackdown/Spookdown event and become the next Board Game Cafe Champion and win a free copy of Nightmare Productions from our friends at Trick or Treat Studios. See ya soon!
