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.

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games, I will rarely if ever turn down an opportunity to play these games.
4.5 - Oh my gosh, the absolute best games...but also I'm not always down to play them. For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever.
4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more.
3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that.
2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances.
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance.
1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game.
1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
