Product Description

Editorial Review

Answer: "It borders every other country in South America except Ecuador and Chile." Question: "What is Brazil?" Just like the TV version, Parker Brothers' Jeopardy game features an upright board with 30 hidden answers to questions contestants must ask correctly. And just like on TV, there are three rounds of play, with the stakes--and the butterflies--increasing with every round. A restyled 10-inch game board features sturdy school-bus-yellow plastic and tip-proof supports. Credit-card-thin plastic "value tabs" fit into slots in the board's red inset panel, and a camouflaged "clues" page slips behind it. The transparent red plastic reveals the hidden answers on the page when the value tabs are removed. Because the subject matter is widely varied, it offers a medley that works well even with a mixed age group. There are fun plastic clickers for three players and clues enough for a total of 48 games (we did find that when playing with younger gamesters the clickers proved more hindrance than help: they're pretty darn tempting). --Julie Ubben

5.0 out of 5 stars Loads of fun and loads of frustration!, December 7, 2000

People who play "Jeopardy" fall into two catagories... Those who play to prove how smart they are. And, those who play and fail to show how smart they are. Hasbro has done a good job of putting together a decent home version of this classic. The board is well done and the questions give a good range of general knowledge so everyone can play without feeling too intimidated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly like the TV game, December 17, 2000

By	Robert Gillis (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game has six categories, instead of five; pre-selected Daily Doubles; and a unique and separate Final Jeopardy clue; plus three clickers. This is quite an improvement over most previous versions which the MC had to select one spot on the Jeopardy round for the Daily Double, plus the MC having to select 3 spaces for the two Daily Doubles and the FJ round. There were 4 clickers also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game!, January 13, 2002

This new Jeopardy game by Hasbro is the probably the best board game version of Jeopardy ever! The little slide pieces that go into the game board aren't made of paper like they were, but now of plastic, so they last longer. The board is and all of the pieces are very durable, so the game will last a long time. The game comes with 48 complete games. This game is a must for any Jeopardy fan!
