CONTROLLING THE HAND
The highest betting team controls the hand.
Only the controlling team's players give answers.
If the Dealer's team bets the highest, she gives the first answer.
If the opposing team bets the highest, the player left of the Dealer goes first.
No conferring and no hints!
ACCEPTING ANSWERS
If a team thinks the movie title is an actual movie, they accept it by having their Producer add a poker chip to the pot. Once the chip is placed in the pot, the answer is accepted. You can use the Popcorn Poker box for the pot.
Play continues clockwise around the circle with the controlling team answering until they reach the amount of their bet or they get three Corn Burns. All titles must be exact.
CALLING BLUFFS
If a team thinks the movie title answer is wrong (or just plain made up), they can have their Producer call a bluff. The Producers from both teams go online for a fact check.
If the answer is not a movie, the bluffing team gets a Corn Burn Card. If the answer is correct, two chips go in the pot instead of one.
The last answer can not be a bluff and is automatically fact checked.
HOW TO BET
The Producer on the opposite team of the Dealer starts the betting.
The minimum bet is three and the maximum bet is 30.
The Dealer's Producer can raise the bet or fold.
Betting continues back and forth until one team folds or the maximum bet is reached.
Team's can only talk about how much they think they should bet.
No whispering!
Do not confer on answers!
A team can fold on the opening bet forcing the Dealer's team into at least a minimum bet of three.
SCORING BETTING HANDS
If your team bets 25 and gets 25 answers accepted before getting three Corn Burns then you get 25 points.
You can not get more points then the amount of the bet.
If your team bets 25 and gets three Corn Burns before reaching 25 then the other team gets 25 points and a chance to add on more.
SCORING PAIRS AND THREE OF A KIND
If you are playing a pair of actors and you can think of a movie with both actors in it, two chips go in the pot.
If you are lucky and flip over three Word Cards and you can come up with a movie title that has all three words in the title then three chips go in the pot.
If you get a pair of Cast Cards and you can name an actor who is in both movies then two chips go in the pot.
This multiple way to score applies to all categories.
