Even when there are those differences in movie knowledge, I felt like there were enough possibilities for people to step in, guess a movie correctly, and feel like they were still having a good time. Certainly playing with a higher player count means that individuals with limited knowledge won’t have as much pressure put on them.

If I have the advantage during the movie round, and one of the genres that comes up is one that the other team needs, I’m likely not going to give that to them. I definitely don’t want to help their chances to steal from me.

This unknown is part of the tactics of the game. Still a much-loved retro TV hit, contestants had to cross the tiles by answering questions related to each Hexagon.

The hand jive first appeared in 1986 after one of the contestants was bored while sitting through filming several shows a day waiting for his turn. It lasted for the rest of the original series' run. The hand-clapping sequence was referenced by Half Man Half Biscuit in their 1991 song " Hedley Verityesque". [5] The original game board was powered using 40 slide projectors, each with its own set of slides for the different Letters and Gold Run questions, and took up the entire height of the studio. Slides were preloaded onto carousels with enough slides for about 3 – 5 shows. Carousels took about 30 minutes to change over. There were 15 different board combinations (5 sets X 3 games per match) which meant the same letter combinations would reappear. The letter 'Q' was only on one board, the letter 'Y' on two boards. All 15 boards followed in the same sequence; if the same player/team won a match with victories in the first two games, the third one was skipped and the projectors were advanced directly to the Gold Run.

The primary flaw is the timer, as it really should go for 45 seconds, or even a minute; 30 seconds is simply too short, especially for non-movie-obsessed players. I also don't love the randomized card placement. Things function much better if you simply draw 3 cards, and are then able to place them in a given category as you see fit. Otherwise, this is a really solid experience. Scottish: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 pm from 3 January to April 1990.

It's strictly a party game, so that limits its versatility; you'll probably want at least 6 players to play it, and you can go higher if you want. We've played it with 10 and 12, but I probably wouldn't go higher than 12 without some tweaks to the rules. Turkey – The Turkish version called Haydi Bastir ( Let's Print) aired on Show TV from 1992 to 1993, the host was Mim Kemal Öke.
