My usual trivia partners and I have played Trivial Pursuit's Genus I to
death and know all the questions.
Genus II was a great disappointment... all of the questions are either
impossible, blatantly obvious, or "I-didn't-know-that-the-answer-is"
questions. (Example: Q:"What does a grateful Swahili mean when he says
<Swahili phrase>?" A:"I didn't know that, the answer is 'Thank You'.")
We're too young for the Baby Boomers Edition and too old for the Young
People's Edition. Most of us don't know enough about sports for the
All-Star Edition or enough about music for the RPM Edition.
So, for this Christmas, I'm looking for trivia games other than Trivial
Pursuit. Problem is, there are dozens, and you just know that most of them
are worthless. So I'm appealing to the Net. Do you know of any trivia
games, or trivia card sets usable with Trivial Pursuit, that are any good?
I'm looking for a generic trivia game, like Genus I, but recommendations
for good single-subject games are welcome. A large number of question cards
is very important. Please MAIL your recommendations to me. I'll summarize
the responses (if any) in net.games.trivia.
<Swahili phrase> in advance. (:-))
