Blockbusters was a popular game show that aired in the United States in 1981. Hosted by Bill Cullen, the show pitted two contestants against each other to answer trivia questions and navigate their way across a game board. The game board was composed of a grid of hexagons, each of which represented a letter of the alphabet.

In Blockbusters - 1981 - Episode 138, the contestants are a returning champion and a new challenger. The champion has won several games in a row and is hoping to continue their winning streak. The challenger is eager to knock the champion off their throne and become the new Blockbusters champion.

The game begins with a round of trivia questions. The contestants buzz in to answer multiple-choice questions about a variety of topics, ranging from history and geography to pop culture and current events. With each correct answer, the contestants move one step closer to their goal of reaching the top of the game board.

Once the trivia round is over, the game moves to the game board itself. The contestants take turns selecting hexagons on the board, trying to create a path of letters that will connect them from one side of the board to the other. As they make their selections, they must answer questions that correspond to the letters they've chosen. If they answer correctly, they get to keep control of the board and continue adding letters to their path. If they answer incorrectly, their opponent takes control of the board and tries to create their own path.

The game is filled with tense moments as each contestant tries to outsmart the other and make their way across the board. With each turn, the board becomes more and more crowded as letters are added, making it harder for either player to complete their path.

Throughout the game, Bill Cullen provides witty commentary and keeps both the contestants and the audience entertained. He occasionally interjects with his own trivia questions and jokes, adding to the playful atmosphere of the show.

Ultimately, only one contestant will emerge victorious in Blockbusters - 1981 - Episode 138. Will the returning champion defend their title, or will the challenger come out on top? Tune in to find out!
