The idea for THIS AIN'T NO GAME (named after the classic SUPER MARIO BROS: THE MOVIE tagline) is simple: We track down and play retro table top games, but only the ones related to movies! It could be movie trivia, official tie-ins, card games, even role-playing games if we find a fun one!For our pilot episode, Bibbs and Witney scrounge up the beloved TRIVIAL PURSUIT: SILVER SCREEN EDITION, which was released in 1983. Which means there are no trivia questions about movies after 1983, so some of the questions could be very tricky, and some of the answers might not be accurate anymore!If you like this episode and want us to make more, YOU HAVE TO LET US KNOW. Otherwise we'll think you hated it and we'll stop! So tell us in the Patreon comments, find us on social media, add a review on Apple Podcasts, write us an email or a postcard, whatever works for you.And if you have any suggestions for old movie-themed board games or card games or RPGs we should play, let us know that too!Subscribe on Patreon at www.patreon.com/criticallyacclaimednetwork to get exclusive podcasts and exciting rewards, like exclusive series, commentary tracks, and much more!Email us at [email protected], so we can read your correspondence and answer YOUR questions in future episodes!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
