Blockbuster is a movie game for anyone who has seen a movie. And like all the best films it comes in two parts:
In the Movie Buzzer Battle, both teams are given a topic, such as “Movies with dogs”. You start the 15s timer, yell out a relevant movie then whack the buzzer to reset the time. The other team is now in the hot seat and has to do the same. Whoever runs out of time hands the advantage to the other team, who take control of the next round: Triple Charades Jeopardy.
In Triple Charades Jeopardy, your team has to guess the movie, while you act it, use one word or quote from it. This is where the strategy and the venom in the game comes in. The winner of Round One gets the pick of the six movies, keeps the three easiest and passes the hardest three to the other team. They then tactically place their movie cards face down, one on Act It, one on One Word and one on Quote It.
Collect as many Movie Cards in Round 2 as you can. Get your three movies correct and you can move onto the other team’s movies. The first team to finally collect a movie in all 8 genres, wins.

Do you live in a city with Meetup groups? There are often board game Meetup groups or you could start your own! Just an idea. I know how hard it is to make friends as an adult.

I bought this game to play after Thanksgiving dinner. We had SO MUCH FUN! 4 adults and 2 teens. We didn’t keep track or did the strategy so we played for a while. Drawing complete blanks on the actual title of a movie while your playing the head to head round was a common theme amongst our group but we had many laughs and lots of fun.

Hello! I'm not American, I never know the Blockbuster, but the board game looks like fun! Can I order the game somehow in Europe? Thanks the answere!

@88Shadowfrost 4 жыл бұрын

Cervantes444 It looks like you can get it online on Amazon. Or if you have Target stores in Europe, you could find it there or possibly buy from the Target store online and have it shipped to you. (And if you’re wondering, Blockbuster used to be a video store in America, where families could go and rent movies for a few nights to watch and then return them when done. Blockbuster stores are all closed now but it used to be a huge thing before Netflix took over lol)

What happens to the cards left on the board if a players team cant guess them all in the 30 seconds?

@BigPotato 2 жыл бұрын

If both teams are done then these cards get discarded, however if the team after you finishes all their cards in 30 seconds, they get a chance to steal them and try and win extra cards. Hope this helps!

I coach basketball at the 15-17 age group. Last year, i was driving some players home and we got a whole video game discussion going. At one point, i said "man, i remember going to Blockbuster to rent games" and my players said "What's blockbuster?" FYI, i'm 28 (as of this post). I felt old in that moment...

Sorry to disappoint you, we're looking to remove as much plastic in our games as possible at the moment and decided the buzzer was not needed to be a physical component.
