In Cinema Frontier, players should combine cards in the most efficient way to create the best possible movie. "Scene" cards and "actor" cards are distributed with each player on a turn either adding a card to a pile or claiming a pile, and once all players have claimed a pile, they need to shoot the scenes, preferably with the actors they have. The last player to pick a pile must draw an accident (event), but will also be first player next round. The actors' special skills spice things up as they allow the players to do various tricks to improve their situation. Points are awarded each time a scene is finished, with a bonus at the end for linking certain scenes together and having a varied movie. Most points at the end wins.
