David Gluckman unboxes the Chrysler Pacifica board game/media kit from the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.
TranscriptDAVID GLUCKMAN: Hey internet. It's David Gluckman, and we're unboxing this--
- "Unboxing Time with David Gluckman."
DAVID GLUCKMAN: It's the media kit from the 2016 Detroit Auto Show for the Chrysler Pacifica minivan.
[OOHING AND AAHING]
We open it up, and there's this big book that's mostly just kind of information about the van, not about the game. So gonna set that aside.
- Useless information.
DAVID GLUCKMAN: Down here we have a minivan-shaped USB drive.
[OOHING AND AAHING]
Pull this apart. It's just kind of-- And we get-- So you can see you stick that in your computer. You stick this part into the garbage. I'm not really sure.
[LAUGHTER]
Again, not really pertinent to the game.
- Useless flash drive.
DAVID GLUCKMAN: This is the very important portion, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Race to the Family Reunion Board Game board.
[OOHING AND AAHING]
It's got all these different Michigan landmarks, like Woodward Avenue; the Big House in Ann Arbor; Greenfield Village, which is in Dearborn; the Uniroyal Tire, which is on the side of I-94. I pass it every day going to and from work.
- Scenic route game board.
DAVID GLUCKMAN: These, though, are the choking hazards themselves. They're little minivan-shaped game pieces. They're kind of rubbery and flexible. And then we have a green one-- which actually, if we hold up to our green screen, we can watch it disappear or create a strange hole in my hand, or something to that effect.
[LAUGHTER]
- Magic!
DAVID GLUCKMAN: And then we have the packet of cards. So they say the same thing on them-- "2017 Chrysler Pacifica Race to the Family Reunion."
Let's give an example of one. If you were to pull this card, it says "Your aunt's car won't start. You'll have to pick her up. Apparently she doesn't drive a Chrysler."
- Auntie needs a Chrysler!
DAVID GLUCKMAN: One other cool thing. You may have noticed these kind of tabs here. They have Velcro on the end. So if you take the case, you flip it over--
[OOHING AND AAHING]
--take the tabs and put them kind of in the middle-- oh, that's not going to work. Put the board on top. You Velcro the board to the stretchy tabs, and then maybe you'll have a chance of keeping the board in place as you're driving.
- Oh my!
[CRASH]
- Help us!
- Doesn't he know we're in the car?
- Help us!
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
- [INAUDIBLE] stop.
- Why shake the board anyway?
DAVID GLUCKMAN: Join us next time when we maybe try to play the game and get from start to finish at the Chrysler Family Reunion.
- I'd rather be driving a Chrysler.
DAVID GLUCKMAN: For Autoblog, I'm David Gluckman.
