Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture DVD Game
Count on Trivial Pursuit to keep up with new millennium trends. This tremendously popular game has been updated with a fun DVD feature that allows players to view TV clips, songs, commercials, movie scenes, and more tidbits from pop culture. As in the original Trivial Pursuit game, two to four adult players (or teams) pose questions to one another in six categories, in this case TV, Fads, Buzz, Music, Movies, and Sports & Games. As they correctly answer questions, players move around the board, collecting colored wedges. To win a scoring wedge, though, players must answer an on-screen question with a variety of visual cues. So rev up those pop culture engines and get ready to come up with the name of Big Star's first record or the candy Ronald Reagan favored. The game includes game board, DVD, 400 question-and-answer cards, one die, four cute tokens (lava lamp, mixed tape entitled "Awesome Mix/Makeout Tunes," cell phone, and joystick), 30 scoring wedges, and instructions. Note: although the game features over 2,000 new questions, only a few hundred of them are DVD questions, leading to inevitable repetition. --Emilie Coulter

Trivial Pursuit Junior Game (5th Edition)
What food gives Popeye strength? What country calls its native inhabitants "aborigines"? What street sport sees cuts and scrapes from falls called "munchies"? Answer correctly and you just might score a wedge in the junior version of the wildly popular Trivial Pursuit. Using the same game play as the adult edition--players move their pieces around the board, answering questions in hopes of collecting all six scoring wedges--this kid-friendly format includes categories just for the 8-and-older crowd. Young trivia buffs will be challenged and entertained by this lively game of wits and memory. But the real fun comes when adults try to join the game. So, Pop, what are Wakko, Yakko, and Dot better known as? The game, for two to four players or teams, includes a 20-by-20-inch folding gameboard, question-and-answer cards, dice, four tokens, and 24 scoring wedges. Oh, yes, Wakko et al. are Animaniacs! --Emilie Coulter

Trivial Pursuit DVD Game: Pop Culture 2

Trivial Pursuit DVD Game: Pop Culture 2
Folks who find the questions in the main edition of Trivial Pursuit to be out of their league may have better luck with this Pop Culture 2 edition. This edition follows the premise of the original game, where two to four players or teams roll the die and move around the board answering trivia questions to score "wedges" of a pie. The object is to score a wedge from each of the six category areas to complete the pie and win the game. However, the cards in this edition skip the dry historical, geographical, and scientific questions and instead focus on fun factoids in the following categories: TV, Music, Movies, Sports and Games, Fads, and Buzz. Another difference is that players must answer an interactive question from the included DVD when they land on a scoring space, an appropriate way to dispense questions for this subject matter. Players choose from four kitschy pop culture tokens to represent them on the board: a troll, a peace sign, a platform boot, and a record. The game includes over 2,400 questions, of which over 600 are featured on the accompanying DVD. The DVD features 16 pre-planned games, each with different questions, and has a checklist inside the case to keep track of which games have already been played. --Cristina Vaamonde

Trivial Pursuit SNL Edition

Trivial Pursuit SNL Edition
Baby boomers and Gen Xers who are stumped by questions in the main edition of Trivial Pursuit may find this SNL Edition right up their alley. This edition follows the premise of the original game, where players roll the die and move around the board answering trivia questions to score a "wedge" of a pie. The object is to score a wedge from each of the six category areas to complete the pie and win the game. However, the less dry SNL Edition requires players to answer questions about the Emmy-award winning late-night show Saturday Night Live rather than testing their knowledge of random factoids. Players can choose from eight different playing pieces, which are cleverly shaped as some of the most recognizable comedic characters on the show, such as Molly Shannon playing Mary Katherine Gallagher, Dan Ackroyd as a Conehead, or John Belushi as the Samurai Deli owner. The game includes over 2,000 questions in six different category areas, which includes 450 interactive questions located on the accompanying DVD. This game makes for a hilarious night of reliving favorite sketches, impressions, and mock commercials from this 30-season show. --Cristina Vaamonde

I Love Lucy Trivia Game

I Love Lucy Trivia Game
Unless you have a strong familiarity with every episode of I Love Lucy, a round of the I Love Lucy Trivia Game may leave you feeling a little out of the "Desiloop." Players move around the board answering questions (true/false, multiple choice, and specific) about the classic sitcom. Do you remember the first six words to the Vitameatavegemin commercial? What time did Ricky return to the hotel after the film premiere? How much was the fare when Fred took the taxi to Grand Central Station? What happened to Charles Boyer's clothing when Lucy asked for his autograph? Name the man who got Lucy and Ethel their jobs at Kramer's Kandy Kitchen. How much did Lucy win in Monte Carlo? This is definitely a game for hardcore Ri-cardo-carrying fans of the show, so while they're playing, other folks may want to curl up on the sofa and watch I Love Lucy reruns. --Tony Mason

The Andy Griffith Show Trivia Game

The Andy Griffith Show Trivia Game
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

Trivia: Teams Of Enemies

Trivia: Teams Of Enemies
Teams of Enemies is a fun game in which teams of players try to correctly answer trivia questions--the catch is that team membership changes with every roll of the dice. Areas of knowledge covered include the arts, sports, science, history, literature, and geography. There are five separate ways to play, each with a unique recipe as to how teams are formed and questions formatted. In one game, the team captain selects a victim, then reads the trivia question aloud to all players. Players then choose whether or not to join the attack and offer their answers. In another version, the team captain reads the question and a list of possible answers to himself, and tries to determine how many correct answers will be given by the other players. Game rule options four and five divide players into two teams, and a roll of the dice determines the difficulty and question format for each team. In this intense game, players move forward and backward, team members shift alliances, competitive instincts flare, and hilarity reigns. When players near the final stretches of the game, solo play is invoked and players are forced to rely on their own wisdom to claim victory. The only minor problem is that the print on the trivia cards is very small. --Tami Horiuchi

For the Record - 50's, 60's & 70's Edition
For anyone who's ever sipped a cocktail ringside at a Sidney Leibowitz and Eydie Gorme dinner show, or saw Diane Earle and the Supremes on American Bandstand, have we got a board game for you. For The Record takes a standard '50s-through-'70s, multiple-choice trivia game and adds a touch of reverb here, a funky wah-wah pedal there, with categories including the above represented "Real Names," deceased rockers in "Rock n' Roll Eternity" and "One Hit Wonders." Players or teams complete a tour around the tongue-in-cheek board as they answer music trivia from decades past. But don't get sent to "Disco Purgatory," escape from which depends upon your knowledge of the complete oeuvre of Silver Convention, Yvonne Elliman, and that band that recorded the theme from the Richard Pryor movie "Which Way Is Up?" As we here at Amazon.com correctly answered that last one, we heard somebody say "Burn, Baby, Burn." --Tony Mason

Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary

Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary
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
