HEAD TO HEAD BATTLE

To start the game split into 2 teams and start the head to head buzzer battle. Flip over a card and take turns to name movies that fit the category before the timer runs out, for example 'movies set in the future'.

QUOTE IT, ACT IT, ONE WORD

In part 2, the winner of the head to head battle gets to pick 3 cards with movies on them. They can then choose which to act out, quote and describe in one word. The loser of the battle gets lumped with 3 more difficult movie cards.

ULTIMATE MOVIE CHAMPION

The first team to successfully collect two movies from each of the genres wins the game! Anyone that has ever watched a movie can play this game.

    Fun pop culture game
    While this is technically an expansion to the main Blockbuster game, it can 100% be played as a standard alone game. It has movie titles that can be acted out like charades, Pictionary, saying linea, etc. Also includes prompts for head to head quick play, like "movies set under water". Lots of fun for movie watchers.

    My friend introduced me to this game and I loved it so much I went out and bought my own! It's a mix of charades, movie quotes, and clues. You play a miny game to see which team goes first and then you act out a movie, give a quote from a movie, and give a one word clue from a movie. Some of the movies aren't well known. Hopeful they make an expansion pack periodically to keep adding more current movies

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite for anyone who has ever seen a movie
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2022
    Color: Blockbuster GameVerified Purchase
    I enjoy most Big Potato games, and this one is no exception. It's strictly a party game, so that limits its versatility; you'll probably want at least 6 players to play it, and you can go higher if you want. We've played it with 10 and 12, but I probably wouldn't go higher than 12 without some tweaks to the rules.

    My only complaint is that the tag line for the game says, "A movie game for anyone who has ever seen a movie." This makes it seem like movie knowledge isn't required to play the game, but it's definitely lends an advantage. If you have seen a lot of movies, you're just going to be better at this game. If you don't watch a lot of movies, this game is probably not going to be that fun for you. And it's never fun when you're playing a group game and there's one person who obviously has no idea and isn't having a good time.

    The basic structure of the game is this:

    In the first round, two players face off against each other and draw a card. The card has some generic statement, like "movies based on books." Then the two players go back-and-forth, round robin style, naming movies based on books. Player A says, "Misery," and then Player B says, "Cider House Rules," and Player A then says, "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." There is a little chess timer thing that each player hits after saying an answer, and if a player is unable to name a movie after 15 seconds, that person loses the first round. This round always goes quicker than you would expect.

    In round 2, the game shifts to a team game. The player that won round 1 goes first, and he and his team have to guess the name of movies on three cards that he has drawn. The trick is that each movie can only be described in one of three ways: a description, a quote, or by miming. All three ways must be used, so you can describe one movie, quote another, and then act out a third. As you can imagine, having seen a lot of movies is a tremendous advantage here.

    To make it easier, the rules say that the quote doesn't have to be a real quote, but something that a character in the movie might say. Some are easy. If you draw "Jaws," you can say, "I think we're going to need a bigger boat," and that's a phrase that's entered pop culture so ubiquitously that even people who haven't seen the movie can figure it out. But not all the movies are quite so easy. If you draw "The Great Escape," which is an actual card in the game, I might say for a made-up quote, "Gee, I can't believe how Steve McQueen just got away from us Nazis by jumping that fence with his motorcycle," but if you haven't seen "The Great Escape" -- and let's face it, World War II POW movies aren't something that are typically popular with the fairer sex, even if they do star Steve McQueen -- there is no way that you are ever going to guess that. Or, worse yet, if you are the one who is responsible for giving the clues, and you draw "The Great Escape," but you've never seen the movie, you're really stuck. And so it can become sort of embarrassing, which is no fun.

    On the other hand, if you have a group of friends who are movie buffs, the game can be a lot of fun. It moves fast and there isn't a lot of down time. There are also some nice chatskis that come with the game, and the overall quality is quite good, at least for the first game. It's especially fun if you're of the age when you remember going to the video store on a Friday or Saturday night to rent a VHS, because it adds the nostalgia factor. So overall, it's pretty good. Not Big Potato's best game -- I think that's Mr. Lister, which everyone always loves -- but still a solid entry.

    I purchased this for our family game night. It is fun and entertaining at the same time. I do feel you need to know about movies in general to play but the kids managed the best they could. The only reason I gave the giftable question 3 stars is because again you need to know about movies. Super fun game for us adults!
