Shittaka Eiga Kenkyuka

User summary: ・知ったか映画研究家 (Shittaka Eiga Kenkyuka) is a game in Japanese from the game designer Subuta. In English, the game would be called "Know-It-All Movie Critics". The game is produced on A4 sheets which the player cuts up into cards accordingly.

By an unexpected turn of events, you're attending a movie forum to discuss movies you've never heard of. You need to comment on the movies as if you know them thoroughly.

Combine two title cards to form an imaginary movie title. Once the movie title is determined, take turns to discuss the movie. You may say whatever comes to your mind about the movie. Other players may also talk to back up your speech. Note that other players must agree with whatever you say about the movie. As the turn player, make a speech for about 30 seconds and then address the next player.

When all the players have made their speech, they shall concurrently appoint a player whose speech has impressed them the most. The player who is selected by the highest number of players shall win the title as the best know-it-all movie critic!

Its 2nd Edition, which will be released at Game Market Tokyo 2015 Autumn, will be available in Japanese and English.
