Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition

Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition brings back the core of the iconic quiz game that launched the whole genre. Each player controls a circular token with six pie‑shaped slots. The board is a circular track divided into seven colors; six correspond to question categories (History, Sports, Arts, etc.) while the seventh merely forces another dice roll. Scattered along the track are six "pie spaces" that open "spokes" leading to the board's centre.

The mechanics are straightforward: roll the die, pick a direction, and move. Landing on a colored space triggers a question from that category. Answer correctly on a pie space and you earn the slice of that color, provided you don’t already have it. On any other square, a correct answer grants another roll. Once a player has collected all six colored slices, they can travel along the spokes to the centre and claim victory.

Supporting 2 to 24 players, the game scales nicely for big parties yet still works with smaller groups, as the circular track lets everyone play at once. A typical game lasts about 90 minutes—enough to test knowledge without dragging. Components are sturdy: a die, a colorful board, plastic pie pieces, and well‑illustrated question cards. The learning curve is minimal—just read and answer—but depth comes from the breadth of questions, ranging from trivial tidbits to obscure facts. Perfect for anyone who loves flexing their memory, friendly competition, and the occasional laugh at a teammate’s surprising answer.
