The Curtain Call game is one that allows those who play it into the world of community theater and some of the dramatized "hijinks" that go on there.
The competitive game is based in the premise of community theater and focuses on behind-the-scenes drama. Players control a small theater company and use actors and props in order to fill requirements for various shows -- but each requirement has its own drama associated with it. This is where the curve balls come in, affected either the actors or the locations of the players in the game. Those who collect the most points by the end of the game are declared the winners.
This playful card-based game would appeal to theater lovers and beginners alike.
