Game Time! Saved By The Bell Game Review

Saved by the Bell Game

Year: 2010

Ages: 8+

Players: 2-4 (For the purpose of this review, there were 2 players)

Set Up Time: 1 Minute

Playing Time: Took us 14 minutes

Object: Play three "pranks" on other players and then go out on a special date to win.

Review:
- My biggest complaint of this game is the object of it. Out of the whole five seasons of Saved By The Bell there is maybe a handful of episodes containing "pranks" in them, yet this whole board game is based around playing "pranks" on other players.
- You can't play as any of the characters, nor can you date any of the characters.
- You have to collect a "Who" a "What" and a "Where" card to go on a date by landing on the Zach or Kelly space, which is way to easy to do since they are on every corner of the board. Within my first round of the board I had all three of the cards.

- There are three different "places" (aka: spaces) on the board where you can play pranks on the other person. So EVERY TIME you land on spaces like "In The Classroom" you have to say that out loud so if someone has a prank card for "In The Classroom" they can play it on you. 
- There are also cards that will stop the prank from happening by having you be exempt from the prank at one of the three "places". Unfortunately, there are TOO many of these cards and almost every time one of us tried to use our prank card, the other person had an exempt card. 

Overall:
This is one of those games based on a TV show that just suck as a board game. Not only is object of "pranking" people not even what Saved by the Bell was about, but not being able to play as your favorite character or even be able to go on a date with your favorite character stinks. I would rather be able to "eat dinner" at "The Max" with "A.C. Slater" than to "play volleyball" "on the beach" with someone "who has a sense of humor". This game is all wrong, takes too long and really frustrates me. If you are a Saved by the Bell fan, don't get this game. If you like board games, don't get this game. If you are bored and have nothing better to do with your time than go on imaginary dates with "someone with a good heart", turn on Saved by the Bell reruns and daydream!
