From BoardGameGeek

In Behind the Lens, you become a nature photographer documenting our planet. With turns taken simultaneously, you'll adjust your camera settings using a sliding tile mechanism to capture striking images of flora, fauna, and stunning landscapes. Every photo expands your portfolio and sharpens your skills. Add tiles to your journal, increasing the victory points you earn when you capture photos with the same settings in the future. Earn additional VP by completing Assignments, public objectives that challenge you to capture photos under specific conditions. Tactile and incredibly puzzly, Behind the Lens is a standalone game for 2-4 players. Multi-Use Cards The cards you draft are used to charge your camera, gain new tiles, and take bonus actions. Slide Puzzle Mechanism Your camera is represented by a grid of sliding tiles. Manipulate them using battery charges to align the settings and snap a photo. Personal & Shared Goals Compete to satisfy public Assignments earning more VP the earlier you complete the objective. At the end of the game, earn additional VP from private Awards that scale according to how well you've met their conditions. -description from the publisher
