Grindhouse!

2–4 players · 0 min · 10+

Grindhouse! is a beautifully weird card game for two to four players set in the world of seventies B-movies. By collecting and playing production cards with the requisite values for the genre you're aiming for—and whatever review you're aiming to get—you complete a production and rake in bucks at the box office. Earn more money than your competition and you win the game!

Players collect and play Production Cards onto productions, in separate horizontal rows on the table in front of them, and can work on up to two at a time. There are four different "roles" for Production Cards: Directors (yellow), Actors (blue), On Set (red), and Post (green). Each card has a numeric cost indicating how many cards you must discard to play it on a production and most have one or more value symbols: afros, blood, boobs, buildings, explosions, fists, wheels, and reels.

A production that contains all four roles can be wrapped (completed) by playing a Genre Card and Review Card onto it. Both cards show a value cost—met or exceeded with the value symbols on the Production Cards—and a box office haul for your completed film.

Once a player has wrapped two productions (three in a two-player game), the game ends and box office receipts are totaled and the highest score wins.
