Event Report from Mike
For everyone who missed CBG last night, you missed out on fun times!
We had a game of Roll Camera – a fun (and silly) game about making a movie. The goal is to shoot 5 movie scenes, and we all took on the roll of Director, Star, Editor, etc..
We nearly ran out of scheduling time and money; on our last dollar we took a gamble- flip a tile 3 times and if we flipped it the right side up twice, gain $4. We rolled it good side, then bad, and after a drum roll… good again! Phew, gambling saved our movie budget.
The player roles also gave a silly “special powers” which has no bearing on the game itself, but leads hilarious role playing. One role lets you direct players to talk faster/slower or in an accent. Another lets you tell players to “shhhh” – be quiet – as if filming on a movie set. Another role lets you ask players to hold “props”, and I found myself holding random Drink coasters and rulebooks in the air (as directed), and it all came to a head with Oakley being asked to hold a chair physically over the table. 🤣 To his credit, he did it. Did it help our game? No… but everyone was laughing.
Back to the game, we decided we couldn’t make a quality masterpiece, so we tanked the quality and ended the game winning by making a movie “so bad it’s good”.
Our hypothetical movie title was “lethal seaside smooches”… coming to a theatre near you.
Note: no chairs were damaged in the playing of this game.
Thanks for reading and hope you had some laughs at our play of Roll Camera! 😂
