Disadvantages: None

Scene It is a board game all about films. You get a board, playing pieces, two dice and a DVD.

You roll both dice - one has a number, which relates to how many spaces you move, and the other has a symbol, which relates to the category of question you have to answer.

There are two categories involving the DVD - these are My Play and All Play. If you roll one of these, you have to go to the relevant DVD menu and select either My Play or All Play (whichever you rolled). The DVD displays a question, sometimes you'll get a clip from a film, then answer a question about it or it may be another question on the screen. All Play questions can be answered by any player - if the rolling player gets it first, they can continue. If not, the winning player gets a bonus and play carries on.

One of the sides of the dice relates to the Buzz card, which means you can collect a Buzz card. These usually get you to move forward / backward a certain amount of spaces.

The other categories on the dice relate to questions on the cards. The categories are Take Three (which usually give you three bits of info to help you answer the question), Songs & Slogans (could be a question about songs from a film or slogans used to advertise the film) and Pop Culture (anything else about films!).

The idea is to make your way all the way round the board until you reach the 'Final Cut'. When you get here, you select the Final Cut option on the DVD and have to answer 3 questions correctly in succession in order to win. If you don't manage to do this on your first try, you move in to the inner circle and try again on your next go. The amount of questions you have to answer decreases the further you get into the circle.

This is a fabulous idea for a game and any film buffs out there should love it!

Summary: Great for film buffs to show off
