How to play Movie Link Battle

Keep the movie chain going until the computer cannot reply.

Make your first move

Choose an unused film that connects to the last film shown.

Choose a movie from the round’s visible pool that shares a director, cast member or release decade with the last film. The computer replies immediately using the same rules. Links use only this 39-film facts edition; missing credits can omit real-world links. No repeated titles. Whoever cannot move loses; exhausting the pool is a draw. This is a solo computer battle, not live multiplayer.

A quick example

Two films connect if they share a director, a listed cast member, or a release decade.

Common mistake

Only the included film facts count. Titles cannot repeat. The computer replies immediately.

Strategy to try

Look at the available film list before committing a move. A valid link can use director, listed cast or release decade.
Save a film with several possible connections for when your choices narrow. This is a solo game against the computer, using a limited included fact set; a real-world connection may not be represented.
