Unboxing Roll Camera! The Filmmaking Board Game, a dice driven, cooperative movie making game

This unboxing is for the Clapper Box version of Roll Camera! the cooperative board game from Keen Bean Studio.


Watch as I open up my copy of Roll Camera! for the first time and check out the great-looking components in this dice driven worker placement game.


A look inside the box of Roll Camera! 

Description from the publisher:

You are movie producers in a failing film production company. You have one last chance to make a successful film – otherwise the company will collapse and you’ll never work in this town again! You have to use the resources at your disposal to produce this film on time and under budget, ensure it’s a high enough quality, and make some sense of the resulting story. No time to waste – roll camera!

Roll Camera! is a cooperative or solo dice worker placement game of resource management and a central geometric puzzle representing your shooting arrangement. You throw the custom D6 Crew dice, each face representing a different production department (camera, light, sound, actor, production design, visual effects) and assign them to actions, either on the main board or on your individual player boards. Your player board features a specific head of department (Director, Producer, Cinematographer, Editor, Production Designer or The Star) and contains unique action spaces that can be used on your turn.

Place the Crew in specific arrangements matching those on the Shot cards, resolve the constant Problems getting in your way, and hold production meetings to play Idea cards from your hand to help out. Everything costs time and money, and you lose if either one runs out. You must also ensure your film reaches a certain level of Quality in order to win!

At the game’s end, you’ll have a unique sequence of completed Shot cards which you can “premiere” using the story cues — it’s the filmmaking game that results in a “real” movie!


We ended up really loving this game. It’s one of the best cooperative experiences I’ve had playing games with my family. Even the kids loved it. Read why in my Roll Camera! review!
