Board Games That Deserve To Be Turned Into Blockbuster Movies

Between Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and a Clue remake in the works, it’s clear that Hollywood producers think  board games deserve movie adaptions. Even despite the atrocity that was the Battleship movie, they keep going back to the well for more board-game movies. So why not choose the best ones? Because it’s also clear they need some better material.  Here are our suggestions of the best board games that deserve to be turned into blockbuster movies.  

Life

“Life: The Movie” would follow a delightfully average all-American family on their #Blessed journey through life’s most ordinary accomplishments. Until one day when they take a wrong turn in their perfectly normal car and stumble upon THE SPINNER.

Realizing that their lives are not the self determined wonderfest they always assumed them to be, the family embarks on an adventure (sans car) to escape from the world crafted for them by omniscient gods who think of them only as playthings. Oscar bait, no question.

Mysterium

When an acclaimed astrologist moves into a manor in the hills of Scotland he quickly realizes that it’s haunted by a ghost with terrible communication skills. The ghost can’t talk but he can ghost up some cryptic visions and he’s desperate to tell Astrologist McGee the details of his death. Professor Trelawney assembles a team of world famous mediums to help him uncover the truth behind who murdered his new ghost friend. Spoiler alert, it’s one of the mediums. Didn’t see that coming, did you?      

Sorry!

If Sorry! were a movie it would just be a bunch of friends going through life, f**king eachother over at every turn. It wouldn’t really resemble the board game all that much except for that every time one of the friends did something awful they would scream SORRY and laugh for an irritatingly long time.

13 Dead End Drive
