Film: The Game Maker
Game: Komikan, Chess, Game of the Goose, Dominoes, Pachisi, Backgammon, Checkers, Lotto, Bingo, Scrabble, Fictitious, Unidentified.
A movie where board games are pivotal! The main character, Ivan Drago, is a fan of board games and puzzles and also a great game designer (altough it seems he never has played with anyone!).
The director´s vision of the board game world seems a little limited and naive (the film is intented for children), but anyway transmits a great love for the hobby.

| The movie is full with fictitious board games. The main one seems to be The Life of Ivan Drago, which is also some kind of visual script of the plot |
 |
| Lots of board games components in the opening credits |
 |
| At Ivan´s (David Mazouz) room we can see several board games. The one at the bottom of the pile (green box) on the drawer chest is the version of The Game of the Goose published by the Argentinian company Ruibal Hermanos. Directly over it we can guess another game from the same maker. |
 |
| Many of the most well-known games at the fair stand scene |
 |
| Ivan takes part in a board game design contest and we see him create several games |
 |
| Syl, a town dedicated to board games designing which has known better times |
 |
| Ivan plays Komikan with his grandfather (Ed Asner) |
 |
| The Profound Games Company, a sinister board game publisher |
 |
| And many more board games in the final credits! |
