In Silver Screen, players try to complete movies from the 1920s by collecting sets and claiming movie cards. Points come from three sources: making movies, winning awards for your movies, and making movies with the correct elements in them. Players have to balance auctions, drafting, and set collection. Silver Screen is a card game rendition of Knizia's Dream Factory / Hollywood Blockbuster // Traumfabrik board game. In contrast to the board game, Silver Screen has more hidden information and more emphasis on balancing alternate paths to victory.
