GAMEPLAY

To begin, the first player will draw a card from the deck and read the actor’s name and the name of the film aloud. Going around the group, each player has to name another film that that specific actor starred in.

If a player cannot name another film, or if they repeat one, the next player has the opportunity to steal. If they are able to steal, the previous player is out and the game continues around the group.

When only two players remain, they will simply go back and forth naming movies until one of them cannot think of any more. At this point, the other player will win the round, earn a point, and keep the card. Neither player will receive points if they cannot name another film.
