Screenwriters—often working in teams—struggle for their big break. If they’re hired, the job will earn them millions.  \nMillion Dollar Script takes place in a lavish Hollywood office. Through extensive market research, the studio has identified a perfect hero, an equally perfect villain, and the tried-and-true structure seen in every blockbuster of the past decades, guaranteed to make millions. But what the studio needs are the details.  \nTwo writing teams have been invited to pitch to a studio executive—the Exec. During the meeting, both teams are working on the same movie, pitching their ideas for five traditional story events. Each round, the Exec picks the Pitch they prefer, which then becomes part of the shared storyline. The losing Pitch gets discarded and treated as if it never  \nexisted.  \nGOAL  \nEach writing team competes to win the majority of five rounds, and secure the writing deal for themselves.  \n2  \nCOMPONENTS  \n36  \nHeroic Character  \ncards  \n5  \nExec Pitch cards  \n5  \nGreen Team Pitch cards  \n4  \nGreen Team Task cards  \n36  \nVillainous Character  \ncards  \n1 Hourglass  \n5  \nRed Team Pitch cards  \n4  \nRed Team Task cards  \nThis Rulebook  \n5  \nNavy Team Pitch cards  \n4  \nNavy Team Task cards  \n3  \nSETUP  \n1. Pick the Exec  \nThe player chosen as the Exec is a combination of referee and master of ceremonies. Chances are that the more extroverted & high-energy somebody is, the more fun they’ll have in the Exec position.  \n2. Choose an Exec Persona  \nChoose an Exec Persona card that appeals to you, or draw one at random. This is the Exec that you will be role-playing throughout the game.  \nThe front of the card depicts the Exec and is public. The back of the card shows a secret list of what you, as the Exec, particularly love about movies. Be sure to keep your secret list hidden from the Writers.  \n3. Form Teams  \nSplit the remaining players into two Teams: a Red Team and a Green Team. The members of each Team should sit together.  \nA third, Navy Team, is included if you want to split up into 3 Teams. This is a great option if you want to play a  \n4 player game with 1 Exec and  \n3 Teams. There is no change in gameplay when playing with 3 Teams, but for simplicity, the remainder of the rules assume you are playing with  \n2 Teams.  \n4. Prepare the Play Area  \n• Seperate the Pitch Cards into three decks—one for the Green Team, one for the Red Team, and one for the Exec as shown in the picture on the next page—with Pitch cards in order from 1 to 5 beginning with 1 on top.  \n• Take all Heroic and Villainous  \nCharacter cards, shuffle each deck separately, and place them face down as shown below.  \n• Place the Task cards nearby.  \n• Place the hourglass in the center of the play area.  \n4  \n5. Agree on a Genre  \nIn the screenwriting business there are many Genres at your disposal, but if you’re new to Hollywood, we recommend you begin by playing in Blockbuster mode. This allows you to incorporate elements from any Genre into your Pitch. You might come across a cowboy in a Western, a cyborg in science fiction, and a vampire in a horror movie, but the only place you’ll encounter a bionic vampire with a magical six-shooter is Blockbuster mode.  \nOnce your group is familiar with the game, it can be a lot of fun to restrict your story to a specific Genre. Players may pick from the following options:  \n\n| | Blockbuster Drama\u003Cbr>Action / Adventure Crime / Thriller | | Science Fiction Western\u003Cbr>Fantasy\u003Cbr>Horror |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n\n5  \nPLAYING THE GAME  \nThe game lasts a total of 5 rounds. Each round, the Exec draws the top card from the Exec Pitch deck, and you play through 4 phases. The phases are described in detail below. Once the final Exec Pitch card is resolved, the script is complete, scores are tallied, and the winning Team is dec","cbCaiiz9l92Hi4VP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiz9l92Hi4VP","pdf",4687399,12,"English","# Setup\n## Pick the Exec\n## Choose an Exec Persona\n## Form Teams\n## Prepare the Play Area\n## Agree on a Genre\n# Playing the Game\n## The Briefing\n## The Brainstorm\n# Character Creation","[{\"question\":\"How does the Exec decide which pitch becomes part of the shared storyline?\",\"answer\":\"Each round, the Exec draws an Exec Pitch card and listens to both teams’ pitches for the related story event and two questions.
