The purpose of this game is to write a synopsis for a work (book, movie, TV show, etc.) based just off the title.
Example:
Poster 1: Wuthering Heights
Poster 2: A book about mountain geography.
The Woman in White
Poster 3: An in-depth look at bridal fashion.
The Cat in the Hat
Rules:
1. Keep titles, synopses, and works themselves appropriate.
2. Use existing works; don't create new titles.
3. Creative titles - and synopses - encouraged.
4. Rare or regional works are fine, though it's also a lot of fun to reinterpret well-known works.
5. Keep synopses short - one sentence, if possible.
Let's get started - Much Ado About Nothing.
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
