CastOff

A chain game. Someone names a movie the last actor was in, someone names an actor from that movie, and on it goes until somebody cannot.

How a round works

• The app opens each round with a seed actor. Nobody scores for that.
• With an odd number of players a turn is one pick. With an even number it is two - a movie, then an actor from it - so that everybody gets both jobs.
• Break the chain and you lose a point. Whoever set the trap gains one.
• Repeating something already used, or picking something that would leave the next player no legal move, is refused rather than punished. Your timer keeps running.
