The Poll Game - A Game of Opinions

The Poll Game - A Game of Opinions Review



When has a telemarketer interrupting supper or a clipboard-carrying survey taker at the mall ever received the Mensa Select Seal from the famous high IQ organization, just for doing their job? You think never? A certain board game has, and maybe it's all in the approach. Thepollgame is loaded with (loaded) questions, too, but as for selling, players will soon be sold, as was Mensa, on its elegance of play and capacity to generate discussion and laughter. Players attempt to move a mere 11 spaces on a colorful board, which mixes elements of Sorry! with Parcheesi, by voting how many folks will answer "Yes" to questions ranging from the innocuous (Can you program your VCR?), through the esoteric (Do you have a valid passport?), to the dangerous (Do you ever forego underwear when going out?). The pollster may choose one of three questions on the 250 cards, or go "Off the Board," preferring to delve into current events or things more personal. With its fast-paced blend of simultaneous play, every player is involved every round: they answer as well as vote. Thepollgame is talkative, provocative fun at a full Gallup. --Tony Mason

In a Nutshell: An interactive DVD/board game, made especially for Twilight fans.


The ultimate Twilight trivia experience, this DVD/board game is packed with Twilight-themed trivia, puzzles, and mini-games. View larger.

A Dazzling Twilight Experience
From the game pieces to the trivia cards, every aspect of Twilight Scene It? has been infused with the spirit of Twilight. 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 Twilight's most iconic items: Charlie's house, a baseball, Bella's truck, and Edward's piano.

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, provide questions in a wide range of difficulty. Some of the tougher questions are challenging enough to stump even the most devoted Twilight fans. Players can also strategically use special "Fate Cards" to throw their opponents off course.

The main attraction, however, is the interactive DVD. Hosted by Dr. Carlisle Cullen (played by Peter Facinelli), it is filled with hundreds of video clips, sound bites, and images from the movie. When players draw a DVD challenge card, they must solve a video puzzle. These puzzles range from memory games to message decryptions, and will put your knowledge of Twilight to the test.

Fun for Every Level of Twilight Fan
The DVD has been designed with the fans in mind. Everything about it has been adapted from the film, right down to the gothic font used for the menus. You'll see cameos by your favorite characters and relive classic moments from the film. Also included are several mini-games, so you can get a quick Twilight fix even when you're not playing the board game.

With hundreds of questions, Twilight Scene It? has something for every type of Twilight fan. The difficulty is varied enough to keep everyone engaged -- from Twilight die-hards to casual fans. Also, some of the video puzzles are completely self-contained, so even non-fans can participate in the game.

What's in the Box
DVD, game board, 4 collectible metal tokens, 100 trivia cards, 30 Fate cards, 1 six-sided numbered die, 1 eight-sided category die, 4 category reference cards, and instruction sheet.
