Popcorn
En el juego de mesa "Popcorn", cada jugador gestiona su propio cine e intenta proyectar la mejor combinación de películas para atraer espectadores a sus butacas.
La partida se desarrolla a lo largo de nueve rondas, y en cada una puedes adquirir una nueva película, construir o mejorar tu cine, y usar publicidad para atraer nuevos espectadores... luego llega el momento de la función: sacarás espectadores al azar de tu bolsa para ver quién ha llegado. Coloca a los espectadores en los asientos adecuados para activar poderes especiales; si además coinciden con la película ideal, obtendrás una bonificación cinematográfica, gracias a su entusiasmo por tu buen gusto.
Después de ver películas en tu cine, es posible que los espectadores se sientan atraídos por otros cines gracias a los anuncios presentados por los propietarios de esos cines, pero probablemente tú harás lo mismo con ellos.
Las bonificaciones de una película empeoran cuanto más tiempo se proyecta, así que asegúrate de traer películas nuevas para mantener a los espectadores en vilo. Al fin y al cabo, unos espectadores satisfechos pueden ayudar a que tu cine gane premios en la ciudad; y lo que es más importante, pueden hacer que las palomitas se acumulen en tus arcas, y el propietario del cine que llene más su caja de palomitas será el ganador.

Overview and Goal
Popcorn is a bag-building game for 2 to 4 players. You each manage a movie theater and want to show the best movies to satisfy Guests, and also gain as much Popcorn as possible.
The game plays over around 9 rounds, each with 3 phases. In turn order, you may buy a movie, build a theater, and attract new Guests. Then, simultaneously, welcome your customers and seat them in your theaters. Optimize their seats to take the best actions, which will let you improve your cinema, influence your Guests, grow your audience, and gain money and Popcorn.
You begin the game with 5 white guests, 1 guest of each other colour, one movie and an additional guest matching that movie's colour.
At the end of the last round, the player with the most Popcorn wins the game!

After drawing your Guests, place them in your theaters as follows:
- You may only place Guests in theaters that are showing a movie.
- In each theater, place Guests in seat order (#1, then #2, etc.). You do not have to fill a theater before seating Guests in a different one.
- If you draw more Guests than there are available seats in your theaters showing a movie, place the extra Guests in the exit zone of your cinema.
Note: You may place a Guest on a seat of any color, but it’s better to place them on gray seats or those of their color, and also in theaters with movies of their color. Once all Guests are placed, continue to Seat and Movie Actions.
3 Seat and Movie Actions Now is when you may activate your Guests. Move from theater to theater, in any order you choose. You must activate all Guests in a single theater, in ascending order of their seats, before moving to any other theater. When you activate a Guest, they do the following in order: 1. Take 1 Seat action, if possible. 2. Take 1 Movie action, if possible. 3. Move to the exit. Note: You are never required to take an action.
