Editorial Review

Take a stroll down Main Street with Opie and Barney in the Andy Griffith Show Trivia Game. It's fairly simple to play: Just roll the die and move your pawn around the spiral. Each space asks you to answer a true-or-false, multiple-choice, or single-answer question related to the show and its characters. Some of the queries are pretty tough, asking for particular names of characters who appeared in only one episode, for example, while others are pretty easy--can you name the town barber? Play takes an hour or two, and even if you're not a fan, you'll soon be nostalgic and checking your TV listings for reruns. --Rob Lightner

Each space is designated with a question category: true/false, multiple choice and specific answers. Answer correctly and get another turn. The first player to reach The End wins! Aint Bee would be so proud. Game contains game board, die, four pawns, and one box of trivia cards (1,000 questions). For 2 to 4 players.

In the right company - a chapter of "The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club," for instance, or any group of Mayberry-minded cronies - this game can be a lot of fun. Beware, though, if your opponents are only casual watchers: They'll be bored and you'll win handily, but without satisfaction, every time.

The main problem with this game is its lack of drama. Play consists of rolling a single die and answering trivia questions (true/false, specific answer, multiple choice) to advance your token around the board. That's it: There are none of the unexpected detours, setbacks or rewards that distinguish the best board games.

Had the board included Mayberry landmarks (The Courthouse, Floyd's Barber Shop, Wally's Service Station, The Diner, Myers Lake, etc.) and corresponding activities, play would be enlivened tremendously. The game would also be more enjoyable if it included questions about the program's stars, guest stars and other "reality" aspects, instead of dealing solely with character and Mayberry-oriented trivia.

Despite its shortcomings, I recommend this game to those TAGS fans who have to have absolutely everything associated with the show, and to anyone lucky enough to have enough Andy-philes in their orbit to organize a fair game.

This is a handsome product (despite the rather crude and unflattering portrait of Andy and Opie on the box and on the board itself) and is sure to become a coveted collector's item in the future. It would make an excellent gift for any TAGS fan in your life.

NOTE: "Educational value" really does not apply to this game,
unless you are seeking to expand your knowledge of TAGS!

this is a quaint game that takes some of us down memory lane with the whole mayberry scene. i bought this as a gift for a family member and we played it and it was very enjoyable for everyone. geared more for the older generation concidering the content is focused on those good ole days.
