Editorial Review

If you remember playing the popular original in the early '80s, you may want to get this Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary edition for nostalgic reasons. If you remember a lot of the last two decades, you'll want to get this edition to test yourself. Moving around the circular board, players collect wedges for correct answers to questions on "all things trivial from the past 20 years." Examples are: What tennis star was forced to do sit-ups in her crib? What became the third nation in the Western Hemisphere to hit a population of 100 million? What was the last Dune novel to be written by Frank Herbert? These and the remaining questions are distributed from a fancy new card shoe that is included. The back of the card dispenser has a small compartment for storing the tokens, pie wedges, and die. The board sports a more streamlined look these days, but still folds up into that familiar pie-shaped wedge when game play is over. --Pam Lauer

I love board games and have always been a big fan of the origianl Trivial Pursuit (though I was never very good at it). These questions are all from the last 20 years, so I thought it would be a cinch! It's STILL challenging, but much more fun for the 20-something crowd. I highly recommend it if you enjoy the other Trivial Pursuit games.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and frustrating, November 3, 2002

The nostalgia and gathering with friends is what makes this game fun. We had three people playing ranging in age from 32 to 40. We found the questions to be very difficult, and in over 2 hours of play answered no more than 15 questions correctly. The game definitely is not what the product description leads you to believe. However, for some reason I do look forward to playing again!

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary (Toy)

Don't do what I did folks. I read the lousy reviews, decided I needed to find out for myself, bought the game that night, and guess what I found out? That I just wasted money! This is NOT your fun, yet challenging trip down memory lane for 20 to 30 year olds like I thought it would be. The questions were impossible to get answers to, took the fun right out of it. The commercial that advertises the game is very misleading; instead of showing pictures of Michael Jordan and Clara Peller, they should be showing the Wall Street Journal and Newsweek Magazine. In fact, this game is ideal for those of you 30somethings that did NOT spend any time watching TV or listening to music when you were growing up. Instead, you were glued to CNN.
