The Cursed Game

"Who’s ready for Family Game Night?"

- Ginger The Cursed Game is the 16th episode in Season 4 of Talking Tom and Friends.

Synopsis
A garage game night gets epic when the friends are pulled inside a cursed board game that won't let them out easily.

Plot
After spinning a wheel, Ben was given the privilege of picking a game for Board Game Night. He picks out a supposedly haunted game from an old curio shop. When he opens the box, everyone is sucked in.

They were greeted by the Dungeon Defender, and everyone picked their characters. They refuse to look at the rules before they play, thinking they'd figure it out as they go.

Near the end, the Dungeon Defender greets them, asking if they have any reinforcements that could help them in their battle with the Diamond Dust Dragon. They didn't have any, and the dragon blasted them, sending them back to the start.

They tried to leave, but the Dungeon Defender tells them the only way to leave is to beat the game. Ben tells everyone to calm down, and tried to beat the game alone, but was turned into a cave crab. He broke a major rule of the game: it was for 2-6 players, not one.

Meanwhile Jeremy was sucked into the game and joined them. He tells them to understand the rules first, so they spent the next few days studying the game rules.

The Dungeon Defender greeted them in the end, and the dragon tried to fight them, but they went on to point out several times in which the dragon and Dungeon Defender broke several minor rules of the game.

Eventually the Dungeon Defender snapped and told the dragon to just blast them. But Tom points out that they broke a major rule: it was a game where you fight a dragon, not a dragon with a dungeon keeper. For breaking this rule the Dungeon Defender and the dragon were turned into cave crabs and fell into the abyss.

The crabs reverted into their human selves, and returned to the garage. Ben was still in charge of Family Game Night and picks out several more board games, to which the friends groan.
