Blockbuster

Blockbuster, another Big Potato innovation, is a party quiz for movie buffs. Participants are divided into two teams and must collect eight cards, each with a movie title on them. The game is divided into two halves. First, two players compete in a buzzer round in which they must list movies based on a theme such as "based on a book" or "set in the future" until one of them fails to respond properly or runs out of time.

The winner is then given the opportunity to win cards by acting out one movie, reciting a quote from another, and describing the last with only one word so that their team can guess the correct title. It's an interesting game that fosters creativity and is ideal for people who enjoy memorizing movie phrases. The game is designed for cinema buffs (it even comes in a VHS package), so if your buddies don't see many movies, they might not have much fun.

Pros:

• Nostalgic design and name
• Three different rounds means three different games
• Expansion packs available

Cons:

• No current movies included
