New from Big Potato Games is Blockbuster, a party game for anyone who has ever seen a movie – and just like all great blockbusters, this one’s a double bill. To start, players split into two teams. In Round 1, each team chooses one member to go head-to-head in a quick-fire buzzer battle. From famous trilogies to movies with a zombie in, these two players must think quick, shout out a movie and slap the buzzer to put pressure on their opponent. The first player to run out of ideas loses the round, giving the other team a massive advantage in Round 2. Round 2 is movie charades with a twist. The player who wins the buzzer battle picks up six movie cards, giving the hardest three to their opponent – keeping the rest for themselves.They’ll get 30 seconds to get their team to shout out the movies by using three tricky techniques: acting out the film, making up a quote and describing the film in just one word. Get them right fast enough, and you’ll have a chance to steal from your opponents. Take it too slow, and they might get a chance to steal from you. It’s an all-out race to collect a film from every genre and be crowned the new Blockbuster big shots. With 200 classic movies, 60 category cards and a replica Blockbuster car park, this is a party game the promises to bring home the entertainment again and again.
