Scene It ? The Dvd Movie Game

Product description THE BOX HAS AGING ON THE CORNERS. SEE THE PICTURES. The game is new. Open box. Race your friends around the game board as you rely on observation, memory and puzzle solving to crack over 1,000 on-screen and trivia card challenges! The first one to Final Cut, wins the game. Game includes DVD, Trivia Cards, Buzz Cards, Category Reference Cards, Flextime game board for long or short games, 4 collectible game pieces, 2 dice and game instructions. For 2 - 4 players or teams, ages 8+ Scene It? The DVD Movie Game is for the film buff what a double-fudge brownie sundae is for the chocoholic. Players take turns moving around the game board and answering challenges, which usually take the form of trivia questions--about movies, of course. Questions are culled from either a box of cards, much like Trivial Pursuit, or from onscreen prompts that follow movie clips. The included DVD is loaded with snippets from recent movies, although the occasional classic sneaks in too. Multiple questions are asked about each clip--identify the title of the movie, name actors in the scene, recall some minor detail--so that even when the clips begin to repeat, it will take some time before questions do too. (Subsequent DVDs are also said to be in the works.) The game board, which looks like a cross between an accordian and a film reel, can be folded out to accommodate longer games or closed up for shorter ones. Scene It? was definitely built to be a party game, and another advantage of the DVD is that theres no need to explain the rules. Instead, just press play and hope that everyone simmers down enough to pay attention. Plus, the hokey music and neon "You Are a Winner" screen that ends the game is certain to send those individuals who like winning a bit too much--and you know who you are--into an absolute frenzy. --David Morel
