Trivial Pursuit 25th Anniversary Ed

This is overall, a good version of Trivial Pursuit, but there are a few problems with it. The easy, medium, and hard questions aren't very consistant. While playing it with children all around the age of 12, they would get easy questions as simple as "what color is a basketball usually" to "What is the name of the ship on Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island?". I'd say either play with adults and older teens only or make sure you have some thick skinned 12 year olds.

This new version is an interesting twist on the original game, but not sure I like the game. Seems to take even longer than the original. Might be ok once I get used to it. The questions, while varied from easy to hard, all seem much harder than the original game. Not a bad game, and not sorry we got it.

This is fun for teenager and up. The added parts to the original game make it interesting.

We played this version of Trivial Pursuit over the holidays and got very frustrated with the questions seeming to be extremely heavy on British and British Empire questions---history, politics, art, culture etc. Is there a British version as opposed to an American version? The younger people in our group were so pleased to finally have an updated version of Trivial Pursuit (thinking they could have a bit of an advantage over us oldsters) but the game was just frustrating with the heavy emphasis on British knowledge. After playing, our only resolution was to find out if there is another version of the game.

The game tries to make a big bang out of its 25th anniversary and fails.

A new method of play is introduced, whereby an entire card might be dedicated to one subject, a particular movie or city for example. All the questions are then based around that subject.
Not a bad approach, but we have found that quite often a question under "History" most of us would consider "Geography" and so on. Even though the card might say "Science" the six questions on the card could easily be anything but science related, or only science if one considers questions about Star Wars for example, to be "scientific."

The second whiz bang idea was the creation of an outer ring on which the player advances a second token. Depending on where that token is, the player can impact another players position on the board, compete for a slice of the pie, etc. However this novelty suffers from 1) we tend to forget to move the darn token along and 2) the impact on other players is, well, trivial. The outer ring is more gimmick than anything, and the last two times we played, it was abandoned.

Others have pointed out errors in the cards, yes those exist too.

If you are looking for a new set of questions, its an awful lot to pay just for those.
