In Cinema Popcorn, players aim to earn more popcorn by attracting customers to their cinema and satisfying them with the movies they want.
Each round, players draw a pawn from their bag to represent a customer, and place it on a theater seat corresponding to a movie from their cinema board.
Movies and customers each have a color, which represents the genre (comedy, sci-fi, etc.) for movies, and the color represents the customer's favorite genre for customers.
If the color of the customer you place matches the color of the movie you selected, you can perform the action marked on the movie.
Seats also have a color, and if the color of the customer you place matches the color of the seat you selected, you can perform the action marked on the seat.
However, as movies lose popularity over time after their first screening, the number of actions available decreases with each round.
Eventually, you will run out of actions, so when you feel it's time to switch to a new movie, you can play it again.
Actions include earning $, which is needed to purchase new movies and improve your theater, increasing popularity by increasing the number of customers drawn from the bag, placing advertising tokens to adjust the number of customers in the bag, and earning popcorn, which will help you win.
You can purchase new movies and improve your theater before drawing customers from the bag. Consider the actions that can be performed in the movie and improve your theater to suit them.
You can also use any advertising tokens you've placed at this time.
Add customers of the color you want to attract to your bag to be able to perform more actions!
The game progresses in this way, and the player with the most popcorn in their bucket after the final score is calculated wins.
"Cinema Popcorn" is a fun bag-building board game where you choose movies and seats, and adjust the contents of your bag to efficiently perform actions.
The movies that appear in the game are parodies of real movies, sure to delight even movie fans.
