Title: "Blockbusters" Board Game
Post by: gamed121683 on December 21, 2013, 12:21:52 PM
Not sure if should page Mr. Ottinger to the white phone for this question, but I\'ll open it to everybody. This might be a longshot (Row 6, $350), but I was wondering if anyone had a PDF of the \"Blockbusters\" question booklet that came with the home game. Outside of being a trivia reference book junkie, I\'m curious to know if the questions were actually new questions written for the home version or they were just a bunch of recycled questions from the actual series.


Thanks in advance!

What a total coincidence...I found a Blockbusters game at the thrift yesterday, but it\'s missing the question booklet.

And even more coincidental, I decided to pull out one of my copies and get a further look at it after the recent addition of Blockbusters to GSN\'s lineup.


The book is small and on the thick side--80 pages long, from cover to cover.


 


The questions are nowhere near TV show-caliber.  For the most part, they have one part and are very straight-forward, sometimes almost too straight-forward.  (What F is where frankfurters originated?)

The questions aren't High Rollers bad, but they're a far cry from those as seen on the program (and yet still better than the zingers that Bill Rafferty would pitch in 1987.)

/"What A is the location where you can put a thermometer?" has two answers.
/Two of 'em.
