The 1 Vs. 100 DVD Board Game by Mattel is based on the hit NBC TV show. Ideal for ages 13 and up, this interactive game allows players to compete against the Mob as they answer trivia questions that range from easy to difficult.

How it's Played
In this DVD game, host Bob Saget asks players multiple-choice trivia questions, as they compete against 100 Mob members. The object of the game is to eliminate the entire Mob and win up to $1,000,000 in pretend money. The host asks the player and the Mob the same multiple-choice trivia question. If the player gets it right, they win money for each Mob member that answered incorrectly, plus eliminates those Mob members from the game. If the player gets the question wrong, the Mob splits the winnings and the game is over. At certain points, the player will have opportunities to stop the game and leave with their winnings or risk all of their winnings and play for more money. This game is fun for the whole family and provides hours of intense entertainment for one to seven players.

The Money or the Mob
Taking on the mob is no easy task. Interactive mob members challenge contestants, taunt them, and give advice that may or may not be correct. For family fun, players can also compete against a home mob made up of other players or choose to be in the home mob. Just like on the popular TV show, the money increases the more questions that are answered correctly, but so does the pressure! To stay in the game, the player must answer every trivia question right. But the most important question is, does the contestant want the money or the Mob?

What's in the Box
DVD game and player cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best american DVD game to date., August 13, 2007

This review is from: Mattel 1 Vs. 100 DVD Board Game (Toy)

In this age, DVD game shows are being rapidly released with quantity in mind and little concern to quality. So at first seeing this game, I was a bit worried it would be another travesty like the growing list of the poorly designed and executed Imagination DVD "games". However, I was very pleasantly surprised at first play.

The folks at Mattel did a wonderful job! This is most likely the first DVD game in the US that is not only faithful to the game, but is fun, and for the first time, it's a DVD game with actual interactivity! Something that is not often seen in DVD "games" these days. Plus it's also one of the first DVD games I've seen with a rock solid one player option.

The questions in this game have never repeated in repeated plays. Also, the game is also so well designed, that it played on every DVD player I tried it on with no errors or flaws. This is another terrific plus.

Pick this up! It's quite possibly the best American DVD game to date!

Did you know that an odometer measures weight? How about that a leap year has 364 days?
The first flaw we noticed in the game was that you can ask the mob for help infinite times, instead of 3. When you click on a help, it will say you have 2 helps left, even if you have already used that same one 20 times in that round.
The main problem we noticed in this game was the answers to the questions. We never got passed 3rd round of questions, because, the game's answers are simply put, wrong. Need examples?
Ever see the Dukes of Hazzard? For our answer to the question "Who played Daisy Duke?" we put Jessica Simpson. Apparently the answer is Beyonce.
"What is most likely to freshen your breath"? You would think altoids, but no, it's your thyroid.
There were many other wrongs answers, we just named a few.
Although the game has serious problems, it was a fun family game night. We shared more laughs than with any other game ever, but will probably not play the game again anytime soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Well-Developed DVD Game Adaptation, January 1, 2008

This review is from: Mattel 1 Vs. 100 DVD Board Game (Toy)

Over the past several years, DVD games of game shows have become quite popular. When they are well made they can be rather fun to play, but if they haven't been developed well then the fun and excitement of game play is stifled. Even though I really enjoy the show, "1 Vs. 100" has aired rather infrequently on television. Therefore, when I picked up the DVD game at a discounted price, I was concerned about how well the game would play. I did not need to be concerned.

The 1 VS. 100 DVD GAME plays fairly close to the actual game on television. Just like in the show, Bob Saget hosts. In the introduction he says that he will treat the viewer just like a contestant on the show and that's pretty much the case, bad quips, slow interludes, and all. A person can play the game and take on the DVD mob or other people can join in and participate as members of the mob (up to six other players can play). The only major difference between the DVD game and the actual game show is that Saget doesn't read off each of the questions or have any interaction with any of the mob members.

My family and I really enjoyed playing the 1 VS 100 DVD GAME. We played the game eight or nine different times over a series of a few days and none of the questions were repeated nor did the game give incorrect answers. Also, the questions are on the same difficulty level as they are on the show.

As much as we liked the game, however, there are a few minor annoyances. In the interludes between when the contestant selects the correct answer and the correct answer appears on the screen, the same comments are repeated by Saget. I will say that they have given him about five or six different comments instead of the usual two or three that other hosts of DVD games have, e.g. Howie Mandel on the DEAL OR NO DEAL DVD GAME. The other thing that is a little annoying is that game doesn't seem to allow anyone to get above the $6,000 range of questions before one eliminates the mob. For many people this won't be an issue--on the show contestants rarely got above the $7,000 mark either--but for people who would like to see a few more difficult questions, it is a minor annoyance.

Overall the 1 VS. 100 DVD GAME is a well developed DVD game, with only a few minor annoyances, that is fun to play both as an individual and with a group of people.
