TDC is adding another Hollywood Game Night board game in the spring. Four Letter Words ($20) works just like on the TV show. Teams have to spell out the correct four-letter-word answers to a series of clues. Sounds simple enough, right? Four large letters making up the answer are even handed over to the team with each clue. But not so simple. The team is blindfolded.

Another game coming from TDC this spring is Guess-A-Sketch ($25). This one they described as “reverse Pictionary”—drawings are provided.

A board game based on the NBC television show Hollywood Game Night is being prepped by TDC Games for release in the spring. At this point, the company is estimating a retail price of $20-25.

Hollywood Game Night, the board game, allows players at home to recreate eight of the parlor games featured in the television show’s first season:

• Take the Hint
• Lost in Translation
• Celebrity Fusion
• How do You Doo?
• I Love a Charade
• Smash the Buzzer
• Celebrity Name Game
• and one other that I missed, sorry!

The demo unit that I had chance to see at Toy Fair included a sand-timer and two electric buzzers, which made silly noises.

Monday’s season premier of Hollywood Game Night on NBC featured a new game, Pieceout, in which the contestants were shown a piece and had to guess which board game it came from.

Can you keep up with the celebrities? (Pieceout starts at 4:50.)

Actually, the sixth question, which stumps Mario Lopez and Alyssa Milano, is problematic. The piece shown is generic and used in many different games.
