Popcorn

Players run competing movie theaters and try to attract guests by programming films, upgrading auditoriums, and running advertising over nine rounds. Each round players may acquire a new movie, build or upgrade seats and facilities, and spend on ads, then draw guests from a bag. Guests are seated to trigger special powers and placed next to movies to score movie bonuses; movie bonuses decline the longer a film runs. Guests can be swayed by opponents’ advertising and move between theaters. The player with the most popcorn (victory points) at the end wins.
