Logline

A world premiere: A pleasant ensemble comedy about love, first impressions, and fierce competition.

When Pia’s clique gets together to play board games, it’s the perfect opportunity for her new boyfriend to get to know everyone and make a good impression. But that’s easier said than done, especially when Pia’s ex-boyfriend drops by and the rivalry heats up. Suddenly there’s a lot more at stake than just a few points.
