Summary: As an owner and big fan of other similar trivia games, the Trivial Pursuit Genus IV Edition is an important member of my growing collection. Yet another gift from my husband a few years ago, this latest edition in the Trivial Pursuit...

Cons: The questions are way to hard.
Summary: We got this game for are family to play together. My parents are into all that family bonding stuff and I can't say I don't like it either though. First we had played Trivial Pursuit Jr. and it was to easy. So we decided to get the harder version.

Pros: A competitive family or party game for people with some intelligence
Cons: You may lose some friends when relative intelligence is revealed

Pros: Updated entertainment, better pies.
Cons: Some very silly aany too easy questions

Pros: newer questions that original
Cons: same game
Summary: Trivial Pursuit Genus IV is for 2-6 players or teams and is mainly for adults but I believe the whole family could benefit from a game night with this.
The object is to move along the game board collecting pieces of a circular scoring wedge by...

Pros: average questions
Cons: many of the questions are really lame
Summary: We got this game recently because I recalled being a kid when the 1st edition came out and loved it then, even if my parents beat me every game. I opted for this edition over the other strange editions (i.e.: star treck?!?) and the Millennium edition...

Pros: Another edition of my favorite game.
Cons: Some questions far too hard, others WAY too easy.
Summary: Trivial Pursuit is simply one of the best games out there. There's just no comparison, when one is in the mood for an evening of mindless trivia. Of course, not all of the trivia is COMPLETELY mindless. But much of it is. But that's really beside the...

Pros: Have fun and learn all at once. Good age range (13 and up).
Cons: Apparently, not everyone enjoys this game, although I can't understand why.
Summary: For some reason, most guys I know really like this game. Most of the like it much more than their wives do. My wife is happy to point out that guys like all kinds of "trivial" things. But I can't help but find it fun and interesting. Even...

Pros: Fun
Cons: Nothing
Summary: I love to play Trivial Pursuit. I have since the first edition came out. I still have this one, but it is not as much fun to play with, why do you ask? Because a lot of the questions are out of date, especially in sports and entertainment. So if you...
