3.0 out of 5 stars
Cute, but not really worth the money, November 15, 1999

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Trivial Pursuit Warner Brothers Edition (Board Game)
While this game was cute and had plenty of flashbacks to your childhood, it seemed the same 10 cartoon characters were the answers to most questions. Four people playing this game once was about as long as the question cards lasted. The picture cards were not usually any easier than the question cards, but those same 10 chracters still seemed to be the correct answers. The board was interesting, and the pieces were nice, but since only 4 people can play at a time, it is very limited. Maybe that is why they have so few questions.....

Might be worth it if you get it cheap, December 14, 1999

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit Warner Brothers Edition (Board Game)
I've played twice now, and both times it was "okay" fun--not great, not awful (I can't imagine playing it time after time after time like the Genus editions). I also can't imagine ever playing a "long" game, as a short game takes enough time--since no one knows hardly any of the answers (most of the questions are quite obscure). I don't know what's up with the plastic-box card holder thing. It's not big enough to hold an entire row of cards, so you're always changing them, and it's not designed well either, so the cards don't sit in it nicely. The only really cool thing are the four pieces (Bugs, Batman, Scooby, and I forget!) and how the colored pies actually "lock" into place.

A big letdown, December 27, 1999

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit Warner Brothers Edition (Board Game)
Normally, the specialized versions of Trivial Pursuit have been quite fun, but this version is the one and only dissapointment I have ever had from this line of otherwise fun games. The difficulty of the questions is the main obstacle; my friends and I (all 20-somethings) had never heard of most of the movies and TV shows in this game, and we thought we were real Loonie Tunes and Cartoon Network buffs. Why couldn't the game have stuck to it's advertising: Bugs, Daffy, Dorothy, Dexter's Lab, and Cow and Chicken? Because who would by a game with "Thor" and "The Maltese Falcon" -- the answers to at least 15 of the questions -- plastered all over the box? About as many people who would buy something like "Lifetime Movie of the Week Trivial Pursuit." A big letdown sums it all up: it's worth maybe one or two plays, and then it would look nice on your shelf, or in a display case to show off the attractive pewter figurines. Skip it.
