I've had people in the office ask me where they can buy Cineplexity, the movie game from Out of the Box. It occurs to me that, what with the holidays coming and people looking for fresh treats, it may be time to remind folks about this game. We've been playing it on breaks here since John Kovalic gave me a copy last summer -- and people walking by in the break room have paused to watch the play, ask questions, and (in several cases) get enough information to buy copies of their own.

The neat thing about it is that it's flexible enough to be a two-player game (though that's not the way the official rules are set up) and to be played to a time limit (ditto). And it doesn't require that the players know obscure details about the movies they've seen. It does change the way I watch movies now (Hey! There's a bathroom scene! I have to remember that! Ah, unusual end credits! I'll keep that in mind!) -- and the only people I've found who can't play it are those who don't remember the names of the movies they've seen.

You can actually play a sample round or two on the website. Check it out.
