Trivial Pursuit: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Product Information

Harry Potterfans finally got their justice in 2018, when Trivial Pursuit joined the ranks of other board game companies co-opting the media giant and came out with the ultimate Harry Potter edition. If you’re a Harry Potter fan, and it’s hard to come by people that aren’t, you will thoroughly enjoy this game. The object of the game is to move around the board by correctly answering trivia questions. Questions are split into six categories, with each one having its own color to readily identify itself; in the classic version of Trivial Pursuit, the Geography category is blue, Entertainment is pink, History is yellow, Arts & Literature is originally brown, later purple, Science& Nature is green, and Sports& Leisure is orange. The game includes a board, playing pieces, question cards, a box, small plastic wedges to fit into the playing pieces, and a die. In the United Kingdom, Trivial Pursuit players complained that the 2006 version of the game was dumbed down in comparison to previous editions, with easier questions and more focus on celebrities and show business. [8] Reception [ edit ] Trivial Pursuit Party is a simplified edition of Trivial Pursuit where every correct answer earns the player a wedge, thus making the game time shorter In 2005, Trivial Pursuit broadened its horizons and made an edition filled with trivia questions about Europe. The set was full-sized, with a game board and all the necessary gaming pieces.

BBC Television produced a Trivial Pursuit game show based on the game in the UK hosted by Rory McGrath. Another British version (with rules/format similar to the Wink Martindale version, and also using the same theme tune as the Wink Martindale version) was hosted on The Family Channel (now Challenge) by Tony Slattery. Birgit Lechtermann hosted a version for VOX in Germany from 1993 to 1994. Nostalgia started to sink in, and people were offered 2,400 trivia questions about the iconic decade, along with four special collectible tokens. The categories were: Headlines; Television; Movies; Music; Sports & Leisure; and Wild Card. Answer questions about celebrity gossip and Hollywood! This is the perfect edition for those who like to keep up with the stars. Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition (2004) It’s clear that the game was aiming at ages seven to 10. The categories were: Every Day; Fun; Science; Songs & Stories; Nature; and Games. Trivial Pursuit: Master Game – A Genus Edition Volume II (1987) As the name suggests, this edition came out to celebrate the ’90s. In Trivial Pursuit’s best fashion, there were six intriguing categories filled with challenging questions. This time, the categories had fun names too! Oops stood for Mistakes and Mishaps; Wired – Technology and Anything New; Viewing – The Stuff You Watched; Trends – Fads, Fashions, Food and Slang; Important – The Hard News; and Hangin’ – Leisure Time Fun.

As far as LeVar Burton is concerned, he traded up when he accepted the role as host on Trivial Pursuit instead of trying to become Alex Trebek's successor on Jeopardy!Based on the board game of the same name, the series will be developed for The CW as they're trying to close the deal to make the game show come to fruition. The actor and host is most synonymous with playing Star Trek's Geordi La Forge, originally on the syndicated The Next Generation and the Paramount+ spinoff Picard in the third and final season. Burton was in the running for full-time Jeopardy! host since Trebek's passing as Sony was running the following season with guest hosts before settling on two with former champion Ken Jennings and actress Mayim Bialik sharing duties despite a strong fan campaign supporting the Roots star and Reading Rainbow host.

The brand new set of 3,600 questions celebrated the events of the past 20 years. If you think this edition was nothing but a summary of the past 20 years of Trivial Pursuit, you’re wrong! In a review for Issue 31 of Games, Mike Shenk stated the game's questions were "excellent in quantity, scope, and level of difficulty" but warned that "the wait between turns can be uncomfortably long."
