Description
Time to walk about town and take some pictures! It's the 1960s in Japan, and you have a half-size camera that lets you take half-size vertical pictures. Let's see whether you can put together good shots...
In Wind the Film!, you're trying to organize pictures on your roll so that they appear in the right order. Each player has a hand of cards, and on a turn, you'll add 1-3 cards to the front of your hand (without changing their order), move one card in your hand closer to the front, then discard as many cards from the back of your hand as the number of cards that you added. When the sunset card comes out, you can take no more pictures, and everyone scores for what's on their camera.
The cards all have numbers and colors on them, and you try to line them up in hand to score the most points possible.

Quotes (from this video)
- Photograph is in a small subset of games where uh the the order of the cards in your hand matters in that you are playing them you're putting the cards into your hand into a specific order and pulling them from your hand and putting them into play also in a specific order.
- So I really like this element of the the number of cards that you gain is the same number of cards that you must play later in your turn.
- It was a really neat hook combined with the constraint of for the most part not moving around cards within your hand.
