Gamemaster

This documentary wonderfully captures the journey of several game-designers as they take their projects from concept to execution. A fascinating narrative unfolds across different people's lives, exploring diverse backgrounds and creative imaginations. Personal and engaging. Exactly what I wanted.

Whether you're into board games or not, it's hard not to love this doc! One of the things I really appreciated was the way it approached the artistry of game design, focusing on the creative drive behind some of our favorite board games (as well as more obscure ones with fun and interesting backstories), resulting in a newfound appreciation for the process and its pioneers. The best docs open your mind to worlds and paradigms you may never have understood, while unearthing deeper meaning for those already versed in the subject matter. This doc successfully does both but, most importantly, is made in an entertaining spirit that leaves you wanting more and initiates numerous post-watch Wikipedia searches. 10/10 from me!

As an avid boardgame enthusiast, I found this to be a fun look at some of the people who create games and their stories about why they create games. I was a little disappointed that they didn't go more in-depth into the actual process of making the games (design, playtesting, etc), but they added more of a human story to the making of these games, and how having created a successful game can change parts of your life.

TL;dr: It's not about the games, it's about the people who make them. As long as you know that going in and aren't expecting otherwise, you'll enjoy it.

I don't know what i was expecting from this but thought it would be an interesting subject to learn about and I got a lot more than I bargained for it, was fun, heartwarming, smart and exciting! Never knew how much went into boardgames.

I love board games so for me this movie was very enjoyable! It was so cool to learn more about this industry! Normally, I'm weary about documentaries but this one was awesome ! My family loved it as well! Highly recommend for all ages!
