German indie studio Comico Games is rolling out the red carpet for their movie-themed collectible card game, ScreenPlay CCG. Set in a wacky movie-making universe where the very characters that we see on the big screen are now also the ones creating the movies off-screen, players must use these characters and various tropes from different film genres to create their own blockbusters.
Despite its card game roots, ScreenPlay CCG also takes cues from fighting games. Attack, dodge, perform, or use your lead character’s special abilities to bring you closer to victory. In the cut-throat movie business, you have to predict your opponent’s moves and outmaneuver them to win.
Key Features of ScreenPlay CCG
- Simultaneous Turns – No more waiting for your opponent to think through their turn. Each player frames their scenes in advance. Then filming begins, and all of your plans go against what your opponent had in store for you.
- Multiple Paths to Victory – Choose wisely which cards to play and when to play them, whether you want your characters to attack, dodge, or act out performances. You can achieve victory with various strategies.
- Each Game a Story – The game revolves around your lead characters and furthering their character arcs. They come from all kinds of movie genres and have unique special abilities and thematic cards that perfectly fit their thematic background.
- Endless Combinations – Pick a combination of three leads and build a 40-card deck to support them. Gain Narrative Points that further your leads’ story arcs. To win, you need to complete 2 of your lead character’s story arcs.
- Comical Cast – Will you play as Richard Spade, the washed-up detective and rely on better information to out-predict your opponent with noir tropes? Or will you play as Illuminati Lizard and revel in the death of your own characters? With over 22 different Leads and many more to come, the possibilities are countless!
- Multiplayer Tournaments – Challenge other players across the world and aim to become the very best. Complete daily & weekly challenges as you climb in the ladders to reap the rewards and unlock more cards to play with.
