Think you've got what it takes to make it in Hollywood? Being a movie buff may be all you need. If you can roll the dice, make the right connections, and still come in under budget, you've got what it takes to be a player.
Can you "connect" Clint Eastwood to Brad Pitt? An unlikely pair? Not in STARCROSSED. Eastwood starred in Unforgiven with Morgan Freeman. Freeman was in Seven with Brad Pitt.
You can do the same with movies. JFK and NIXON have more in common than their presidential subjects: JFK featured Joe Pesci, who starred in My Cousin Vinny with Marisa Tomei. Tomei appeared in Chaplin with Anthony Hopkins; Hopkins starred in Nixon.
You've just played STARCROSSED- Hollywood's Movie Game, Where Connections Are Everything! Players or teams simultaneously compete to connect stars using as few movies as possible, or movies using as few stars as possible. Make the shortest connections and advance the farthest. (Clues allow everyone to play, so you don't have to be a movie fanatic to compete!)
And what would the movies be without Awards? Star, Movie and Take Two Awards questions allow for bonus advancement in every round. Try this one: Name the common star from the following three movies: Silverado, Tin Cup, and A Perfect World.
Let's try one more. What's the shortest connection between you and the movies you love?
