Editorial Review

Who confronted Ivana Trump with: Do you love your husband? Because I do? What sitcom star popularized the Rachel haircut? Who led the 1995 Million Man March on Washington? Capture the scandals and successes of the 1990s in this tin-box time capsule! Okay, you know the routine. Trivial Pursuit's immense popularity is due in part to its rehashing of bizarre, poignant, funny, and sometimes, well, trivial details of life on Planet Earth. The 1990s Edition continues the tradition, allowing two to four adult players (or teams) to pose questions to one another in six categories, including the new Oops (mistakes and mishaps),Wired (technology, gadgets, and the Internet), and Hangin' (what people did in their leisure time) categories. As they correctly answer questions, players move around the board, collecting colored wedges. Includes game board, one deck of 400 question-and-answer cards, five card holders, one 6-sided die, one 10-sided die, four decorated pawns, and 24 scoring wedges. --Emilie Coulter

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit dissappointing...., October 22, 2004

I have a group of friends that play trivial pursuit fairly often and we were excited that this new 90's game was out. While I've enjoyed all the editions I was dissappointed in this game overall. It only came with one pack of cards and several plastic dispensers so you could divide the cards by year. The idea is that you roll a 10 sided die to select the year your queston will relate to. We have played this game only four times with between two and four people and we have already run through all the cards and are getting repeat questions. I definitely wish it came with more cards, or at least the option to buy supplemental cards. Another thing...in the older editions if you got a question that you didn't know the answer to right off many times you could at least come to a pretty good "guess" by deductive reasoning. In this game you either know the answer or you don't.

I was very disappointed when I got this game for my birthday and after we played a few times we realized that these cards have duplicate questions. You'll see the same questions over and over and they are the exact same questions. There is only one box of questions, so it doesn't take long to learn the answers. Very disappointing - I wouldn't recommend it for this price.

Having worked my way through the original, 1980's edition, and Genus 6, I was excited to get the '90's version for some new cards. The questions are good (some are a little easy), and the categories are a hoot (my favorite is called "Oops"), but it would have been nice to know in advance that this edition only comes with one box of cards (e.g., about half what previous editions have included). Also, this version includes only four "pies" for individuals or teams to play at once (they are no longer pies, but 3D '90's icons such as a Palm Pilot and a cappuchino).
