If you remember playing the popular original in the early '80s, you may want to get this Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary edition for nostalgic reasons. If you remember a lot of the last two decades, you'll want to get this edition to test yourself. Moving around the circular board, players collect wedges for correct answers to questions on "all things trivial from the past 20 years." Examples are: What tennis star was forced to do sit-ups in her crib? What became the third nation in the Western Hemisphere to hit a population of 100 million? What was the last Dune novel to be written by Frank Herbert? These and the remaining questions are distributed from a fancy new card shoe that is included. The back of the card dispenser has a small compartment for storing the tokens, pie wedges, and die. The board sports a more streamlined look these days, but still folds up into that familiar pie-shaped wedge when game play is over. --Pam Lauer

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary (Toy)
I love board games and have always been a big fan of the origianl Trivial Pursuit (though I was never very good at it). These questions are all from the last 20 years, so I thought it would be a cinch! It's STILL challenging, but much more fun for the 20-something crowd. I highly recommend it if you enjoy the other Trivial Pursuit games.

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary (Toy)
The nostalgia and gathering with friends is what makes this game fun. We had three people playing ranging in age from 32 to 40. We found the questions to be very difficult, and in over 2 hours of play answered no more than 15 questions correctly. The game definitely is not what the product description leads you to believe. However, for some reason I do look forward to playing again!

This review is from: Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary (Toy)
Don't do what I did folks. I read the lousy reviews, decided I needed to find out for myself, bought the game that night, and guess what I found out? That I just wasted money! This is NOT your fun, yet challenging trip down memory lane for 20 to 30 year olds like I thought it would be. The questions were impossible to get answers to, took the fun right out of it. The commercial that advertises the game is very misleading; instead of showing pictures of Michael Jordan and Clara Peller, they should be showing the Wall Street Journal and Newsweek Magazine. In fact, this game is ideal for those of you 30somethings that did NOT spend any time watching TV or listening to music when you were growing up. Instead, you were glued to CNN.

1.0 out of 5 starsListen to the negative reviews and avoid this edition.
See all of the negative reviews? Notice that they're all saying the same things? Avoid this edition!
I'm just going to be repeating what everyone else has said.

1.0 out of 5 starsThis version has harder and less interesting questions then the classic version
One would think that a trivial pursuit game with more recent questions would make the original easier. It doesn't. I think we actually answered LESS questions in it.

4.0 out of 5 starsAnother solid edition of Trivial Pursuit...
I have no patience for people who complain that the questions in this game are difficult. That's the whole point.

1.0 out of 5 starsExtremely poor fact-checking
It's not that the questions are hard (though most of them are). It's not even that the questions are about stuff most people *just don't care about*.

I have been playing this edition of Trivial pursuit for several years now, often several times a month.

1.0 out of 5 starsTrivial Pursuit is a good game, but not this version...
The questions in this game are fine. They did seem a little more difficult than some other versions, but my complaints are almost solely on the design. The board is flimsy.

3.0 out of 5 starsI agree.... Questions are very hard...
Although, yes, the questions are supposed to be hard, it is not fun if noone ever gets any right!
The fun of the original and others is that some know it and others...
