Which movie board game do you think was the worst? Are there any that you'd actually want to try? Let me know below!

If I recall correctly, the Lord Of The Rings board game has one thing you didn't mention, and that was that it can be soft locked. Specifically, the final game in the series, Return of the King, can be soft locked. Basically, Return Of The King adds a mechanic involving the Eye Of Sauron, and wherever it faces on the board, characters within its line of sight cannot move. On top of that, it's possible to get Sam and Frodo to Mount Doom very early in the game, and once they get there, their story is finished, but it's not the end of the game, it just means they can't move anymore. The game only ends when every character has resolved their stories, and some characters don't even appear until certain map spaces hit the table. As a result, it's possible to get Sam and Frodo to Mount Doom (which comes out early on) and have the Eye Of Sauron facing the other characters, which makes them unable to move, which means that the game no longer becomes playable after that point.

I have a suspicion that the only reason why Twilight board games sold well enough to warrant a sequel but has almost no real reviews is because it's a quintessential auntie game. It's a game aunt who knows nothing about her niece beyond "She likes Twilight" buys as a Christmas gift only to never be played.

The Campaign for Gone With The Wind 1930-1939

[therealkepler]

my least favorite movie board game is the twister board game. literally nothing about tornadoes, you just put hands and feet on spots

[cheaperying]

With the gone with the wind game, my guesses are that they just wanted to make a 8 in 1 gameset for old people to play in a gathering. The whole movie thing is just something to slap onto the game to make it more appealing

[gotgunpowder]

"What were they thinking?!"

Kam briefly transitions into the Angry Board Game Nerd (ABGN)

Gotta say it is funny that the Lord of the Rings boardgame only allows 2 - 6 players when there are nine characters.

[tristinhambrick]

Dude, Gone with the Wind has to be a contender for the next WBGT. I have never seen a board game so confused on its identity without being deliberate like Heckadeck.

On a related note, one possible idea for a future video could be the Most Fascinating Spinoffs of Classic Board Games such as Clue Escape, Twister AIR, Sorry Sliders, etc. In other words, games that stick to their original material at its core, but are completely different on a fundamental level.

Excuse me, Kam, it's called Based on the Bestselling Novel Left Behind The Movie The Board Game Adventure.

Finally a video for me.


I actually did a weird thing last year where I would try to design a board game for every movie I saw in October.


It led to some wacky stuff.

Aristocats fundamentally impacted me as a person. Every time I get my hands on an instrument, I am COMPELLED to play Scales and Arpeggios., which was Marie's piano practice song. I don't play chopsticks. I play Scales and Arpeggios. I watched that movie SO MANY TIMES as a kid it is unREAL. It was legit a non miniscule part of my childhood, and hearing someone mention it is insane to me. I love it.

"Gone with the wind the game" seems like it was trying to be the perfect gift for grandma but I think it would've been better to just get her a VHS of the actual movie

[spidertoes]

Heard the “if looks could kill this game would be fatal” and I was brought back to a very dark place.

Good video👍

[PelicanOfDeath]

I 100% thought when you said it was an exact 1:1 recreation of LotR that you were going to say "yeah if you're playing as Boromir you just die near the end".

[powerplay]

To make Carpathia more interesting, you should institute a rule where you HAVE to beat whoever is representing The Entity in a game of whoever's choosing that meets the player or Carpathia itself.

If you meet Carpathia: Defeat it in whatever battle you declare, and if you can do this, you rightfully defeat the entity and win.
If Carpathia meeta you: Win against it to keep control of your mortal soul. If you lose, Carpathia consumes you and you are eliminated.

It's like people saying they fought Death: we will never know what game, or combat style, or other competition they played to stay the hand of Mr. Scythe. It's the same here: no one knows what you will do to either slay the incarnation of Rapture, or to barely escape its clutches.

[StriderOwO]

Y'know I thought the "Gone With The Wind" board game was gonna be the weirdest part of this video but the phrase "The Newborn Army" is certainly giving it a run for its money

[Mr_Mushroom_Soup]

The lord of the rings board game being a 1:1 retelling of the story is wild. I honestly could not imagine spending an entire day playing a single board game.

[LendriMujina]

14:06 For those wondering, the earliest movie-licensed board game is 1963's _Frankenstein Mystery Game, _ based on _Frankenstein (1931)._ At least, that's the earliest I can find any trace of; if anyone knows an earlier one, let me know, but it overall seems like it took a while for movie tie-in games to be a thing.

[magicalmysteryperson]

The Lord of the Rings board game falls in the same major pitfalls as Mario Party 9: Everyone controlling a group of characters in a linear path.
least Mario Party 9 has minigames that are fun.
