A hundred landmark films across every decade of cinema. The classic non-sport draft: everyone has opinions, nobody needs to know the rules.

## Movie Draft Board

A movie draft is the easiest way to explain what a draft is to people who have never been near a fantasy league. A hundred films, everyone takes turns, and by round three someone is defending a pick they cannot defend.

The pool spans every decade of cinema with the year, director and genre on each row, so the board carries enough information to make a pick feel considered rather than random.

It works as a party game, a film-club season opener, or a team social that is not a quiz. One link, a short clock, and about twenty minutes.

## Running a movie draft board

1. **Load a hundred films.** The board opens with a hundred landmark films, each carrying its year, director and genre.
2. **Decide the shape of the draft.** Set how many people are drafting and how many films each one takes. Five people taking five films each is a good first draft.
3. **Keep the clock short.** Thirty to sixty seconds a pick is what keeps a party draft funny. Long clocks turn it into homework.
4. **Share one link and draft it live.** Send the join link, set a pick clock, and everyone picks from the same board in real time. Spectators can follow along without an account, and the pick feed updates on every screen at once.

## Movie Draft Board questions

### Can I use my own list of films?

Yes. Import a CSV of any films you like — a decade, a director, a genre, or the shortlist your film club has been arguing about — and draft that instead.

### How do you score a movie draft?

However your group wants to. Most people do not score it at all: the draft itself is the game, and the rosters are the argument. If you want a winner, a group vote at the end is the usual answer.

### How many people can draft at once?

As many as you like — everyone joins from the same link, and the board updates live on every screen.
