This game is so much fun. We've played it many times without repeating the questions.

Building your own band is really cool. The game covers many different artists, groups, fads, events and musical genres. I love the Rock and Roll Relations and Women Rocker categories. It's a blast to play with friends!

This game also makes a great gift.

This is probably the most thorough game based on music ever. It's a trivia game with lots of fun elements too. You get to form a band, break up other player's bands, earn hit record awards. Rock and Roll Triviologies is here to stay. Give Aleken Games a Grammy. It's a chart topper.

First of all, this is a good game. I have only played with two teams and I am going to have to say that the estimated time of game play for teams is off. Whenever I played, it took at least three hours to finish, and less if we decided not to finish. The hardest part is getting the industry awards. The game always ended with both teams going for their last award, so that kept it close . . . which is cool, but it is the main reason the game takes so long.

Also, the board design seemed to make it so that we would land on "On the Map" and "Music Mix" more than any other space. Most of the questions are pretty hard, especially "50's". It was one of the funniest moments during the game when my opposing team was relieved to know they were to get a Britney Spears question. The relief turned into frustration when the question asked for one of the producers of her album, and it was not the one that they knew. It was awesome.

Overall it's a good game. It just takes a while to finish (especially with the difficulty of the industry awards), I hate landing on the "50's" square, and it seems to get like some bands more than others (like the Band). Buy it if you really know your music. Casual listeners don't really help their teams that much.

Copyright 2003, so don't expect any "new" questions. Questions range from easy to very challenging, and cover the gamut of rock and pop styles and eras. Unfortunately game-play is a bit convoluted, and doesn't offer an easy option for a "condensed" game that takes less time.

This is a fun and great game....However you must have friends/family who also enjoy music and music history to make this enjoyable for all who play....If not it can become boring and not challenging. If you do have friends/family who enjoy music and music history then this will be a great purchase!! I love mine!

My husband loves this game. We have a group of friends we want to get with and have a music trivia night!

The game was advertised as in very good condition. But when it arrived, the front cover had an inventory sticker on it from a Houston youth group. There were critical pieces missing. Will not purchase from this provider again.
