Toys and Games Reviews of Scene It? The Simpsons Deluxe Edition
Customer Review: A fun, casual game exclusively for Sismpsons fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start by saying I'm not very familiar with the other "Scene It?" brand dvd/board games. So I can't say how this Simpsons edition compares to others. What I CAN tell you is that if you like casual trivia-based board games with a home video element AND you are a HUGE fan of The Simpsons, there is no doubt that you will love this game!
The concept is simple: up to four players (minimum 2) progress around the game board while answering various Simpsons trivia challenges until someone ends up in the winner circle. The game comes with a foldable game board, 4 player tokens (in the shape of Simpsons icons: the TV, the power plant, the 3-eyed fish, and a Slushie cup), two dice (1 typical 6-sided, 1 8-sided to draw a category), a big box of trivia cards, a small stack of "Buzz" cards, and a game dvd.
The way it works is this: players roll both dice to start their turn. Players move the number of spaces from the 6-sided dice and attempt the challenge indicated from the 8-sided dice. Two types of challenges are from the dvd, where either you or everyone (depending on the die roll) have to answer a trivia question from a variety of challenges before time runs out. Three other challenges come from the trivia cards, where one player reads the question to another player who has to answer before 30 seconds is up. Rolling a "Buzz" card means one must draw the card and either incur the penalty or reap the reward, depending on the card, similar to "Chance" cards in Monopoly. There is also a players choice on the 8-sided dice where the player may choose any challenge they please.
To make a long story short, this dvd/board game is a LOT of fun for anyone who fancies themselves a Simpsons trivia buff and enjoys a casual board game. The game is quick to learn and to start. There are enough challenges and questions to keep the game fresh and not repeat questions. It's fun with as little as two players and up to four. You are at liberty to adjust a few rules to your liking and still not ruin the game play, particularly to make shorter or longer games.
Finally, I must add one word of caution: THIS GAME IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR SIMPSONS FANS! If you never watch The Simpsons, this game is not for you. If you watch it every now and again when you happen to catch it on TV, this game is not for you. If you used to watch the show but haven't in a long time, it's not for you. This game is for die-hard fans who watch the show religiously, own the dvd sets, consistently recall the show, the jokes, and the quotes to themselves on almost a daily basis. If you LOVE LOVE LOVE The Simpsons and enjoy casual board games, you will really enjoy this game. You'll be pleased at the trivia you do recall while playing, and kicking yourself in the butt for not remembering things you thought you knew. This is a Simpsons game where you will feel very immersed in the Simpsons world and enjoy being there the whole time. If you are only a casual fan of The Simpsons, this game will be wasted on you.

A Trip to Springfield, Trivia Style
From the game pieces to the trivia cards, every aspect of Scene It? has been infused with the charm and humor of The Simpsons. The game begins with players choosing one of four collectible tokens to represent their team. Sculpted out of metal, these tokens have been modeled after some of the show's most recognizable icons: the family TV, the Springfield power plant, the three-eyed fish, and a slushie cup. The game board is collapsible and features two sizes, giving you the option of playing a 15-minute quick game or a 40-minute extended game.
Teams advance around the board by answering two types of questions: traditional trivia cards and DVD-based puzzles. The trivia cards, which resemble what you might find in Trivial Pursuit, come in three different categories: green "general" questions, orange "song/dialogue" questions, and yellow "pop culture" questions. They vary in difficulty, and some of the tougher questions are challenging enough to stump even the most fervent Simpsons fans.
The main attraction, however, is the interactive DVD. Featuring hundreds of video clips, sound bites, and images from the show, the DVD challenges players to solve brain-teasing Simpsons puzzles. With a variety of different puzzle categories, the DVD puts your knowledge of The Simpsons to the test. Categories include "Krusty's Cartoon Cut 'Em Ups," where players must identify a character based on a distorted image, and "Blank-Diddly Blank," which challenges players to decode clever wordplay.
Fun for Every Level of Simpsons Fan
The DVD has been designed with the fans in mind. Released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, Scene It? is the ultimate homage to TV's most famous dysfunctional family. You'll see cameos by your favorite characters, watch video clips from classic episodes, and be treated to the Simpsons soundtrack.
With hundreds of questions, Simpsons Scene It? has something for every type of Simpsons fan. The game is difficult enough to pose a challenge to Simpsons die-hards, but casual fans don't need to worry about being excluded. So long as you can identify recurring characters like Sideshow Bob and Ned Flanders, you will be able to answer some of the easier questions.
What's in the Box
DVD, Flextime game board, 4 collectible metal tokens, 175 trivia cards, 16 buzz cards, 4 category reference cards, six-sided numbered die, eight-sided category die, and instruction sheet.
