Article: Top 10 Board and Travel Games That Should Be A Film

10.Beetle Game (Rob Letterman Cert PG)

Beetle is the game where the winner is the first player to finish building their plastic beetle. Each part of the beetle corresponds to a number on the dice. You roll a dice and add the relevant part to your beetle if you can. There is one man who can direct this and it is Rob Letterman, it would be like Honey, I Shrunk The Kids type of vibe and it will be an all-star cast, he can balance the darker moment with the comedy aspect, plus this would be enjoyable and heartfelt.

9.Trivial Pursuit (Edward Norton Cert 15)

Play individually or in teams, moving around the Trivial Pursuit board and answering general knowledge questions to win wedges. Be the first to earn each of the 6 category wedges. I know Edward Norton only direct two films, this would be set in 1981 with a gameshow of a host and maybe Edward Norton plays that role, from the first two films he directed he would use the same cast as contestants, it would focus on these characters and the story itself.

8.Snakes And Ladders (Jaume Collet – Serra Cert 12A)

Move along the board by going up the ladders and trying to avoid the snakes, if you land on the head of a snake, you must go down the tail. Be the first player to get to the end of the board. Personally, I would love this would be set during 1650 and 1720 in the pirates’ era, it would be about a bunch of pirates get stuck in a cave, plus they must play a carving game of Snake and Ladders, it will be a fantasy with some comedy aspect with an all-star cast.

7.Booby Trap (M Night Shyamalan Cert 15)

The object of the game is to get as many points as possible. The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. Booby Trap would be like a mystery horror film that will made you think, it will be directed by M Night Shyamalan as he does those type of genre, a group of people get stuck on an island somewhere far and they must play a deadly game, plus there will be twists.

6.Blockbuster (James Cameron Cert 12A)

In the movie buzzer round, both teams are given a topic such as “Movies with a dog”. You start the 15 second timer, yell out a relevant movie, then whack the buzzer and the opposite team do the same. There are different rounds and there is all sort of strategy and stealing too. One of those potential film that will set in 1985, maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Blair would play the owner, the kids get stuck in a store and play the game to get out.

5.Guess Who (Chloe Zhao Cert 15)

It’s the guessing game you know and love, with more choices than ever! Narrow down your guesses with yes or no questions. Once you have the answers, make your guess. Chloe Zhao normally directed drama films, but I would love her to do a mystery whodunnit type of film. In my eyes she would do it justice with a character driven film that slowly draw you in, maybe a mixture of newcomers and Oscar winning casting would play the characters.

4.Kerplunk (J.A Bayona Cert 12)

You’ll need a steady hand to remove the sticks without dropping the marbles through the chute. End the game with the fewest marbles to win. Being set in 1967 with a builder family and they must set up a tall tower with marbles with a chute, there will be stunning scenery as it being up in a mountain village, it would also about the family and the characters who made this equipment, J.A Bayona would suit this type of film.

3.Hangman (Nick Park Cert U)

Hangman is a guessing game for two or more players. One player thinks of a word and the others tries to guess it by suggesting letters within a certain number of guesses, once you run out of guesses there is a Hangman figure. Nick Park would turn this game into a stop motion animation film, he would cast the same people from his other films, this would be suitable for all ages and a family viewing, it will be funny and heartfelt.

2.Dominoes (Christopher Nolan Cert 15)

Go counterclockwise around the table. Each turn consists of a player laying down one tile. That tile must have a side that matches the open of a domino that is already on the table. Continue taking turns until someone uses all their tiles. Dominoes would deal with time travel and space to figuring out the number’s aspect, I would personally love Christopher Nolan to direct this with a backstory of mathematicians and not be too overcomplicated, all the cast from his previous films would be in this potential film.

1.Connect 4 (Jennifer Yuh Nelson Cert PG)

Line up four discs of the same colour to win! Play as gold or red and drop one of your discs into the grid at each turn. You can stack the four discs vertically, side by side or diagonally just don’t forget to block your opponent. Diversity DreamWorks animation type of film that will be about friendships, maybe from her first three films she would cast the same people as the vocal in this would be film, there will be moral and this would be suitable for all ages and a family viewing, hopefully it will move people.
