Super Bowl Trivia is terrific for any gathering of football fans, when watching a pre-season or regular season game, and particularly the Super Bowl when you have a bunch of people over. It's "fan" tastic as a host or hostess gift for a football gathering. Some of the questions in Super Bowl Trivia are tough; most are fun, and the range of topics, from announcers to women (yes, women in Super Bowl history) is incredible. I'd love to see this as a CD-ROM game, or even a board game! Obviously, a lot of research went into Super Bowl Trivia. Wonderful book!
