Advantages: A good game seems easier.

Disadvantages: none

Trivial Pursuit is simply the best trivia type game on the market.It has been around for as long as I have, and will no doubt continue to be around for many years to come.
This particular version called genus IV seems a lot easier than past versions, which can certainly build up your confidence,but it presents less of a challenge to Trivial Pursuit experts.I use to play the original version all the time with my family. A friend of mine has the genus edition and i play it with them and plan on getting it myself now.


The original version is different to Genus as you can tell. The original Trivial Pursuit is playing two to six players. Players take turns moving their pie shaped piece
around the board and answering questions in six categories. Traditionally the categories have been Geography,
History, Entertainment, Science and Nature, Arts and Literature, and Sports and Leisure.
With Genus IV, and other types of Trivial Pursuits as well, the categories are changed a bit.
The winner is the first person to answer a question right from each of the categories after having landed on a certain space.
The game usually lasts somewhere between thirty minutes and an hour and a half depending on the trivia knowledge of the group with which you are playing.


The genus version is different as far as the categories go, usually the new blue- people and places - is a bit easier than geography was in the older versions.
It often includes questions about culture in addition to the standard geography questions.
Wild Card usually is quite easy and includes mostly pop questions from subjects ranging from Coke to MTV.
History is pretty much the same, but I feel that the difficulty of the questions has been taken down a notch.
Sports is pretty much the same, although I think the percentage of Sports over leisure has been increased a bit.

In all, I feel that the questions are much easier. I recently played the origin
al version,and had a much harder time answering questions. Of course, that version was made in another era,but even the history questions seemed a lot harder.

If you've never played Trivial Pursuit, go out and buy it now if you like trivia at all.
As I mentioned, the questions are a bit easier, but it just makes the games quicker and not taking away any of the fun.

The game will cost you £29.99 and is from most toy shops. It is by MB again another good game from this manufacturer.
