How two supposed trivia experts didn’t know the name of arguably the most popular board game of the last 50 years is mind-boggling. It didn’t matter because Lawrence nailed it and had the lead. Had he missed, Emma would have won by default. But she should have bet $0, which would have locked out Jennifer from doubling to $11200 and passing her had Jennifer hit FJ
There were many stumpers, but IMO must of them were really tough. Being a sports junkie, I knew the Seattle baseball stadium and the sports verb for a shot without pausing. And the 1973 Yul Brynner movie, a real classic. film.
Yeah, Yul Brynner was the man!
Ah yes the good old days of trivial pursuit. One of my favorites back in the old days. Now Hasbro has made two windows versions of trivial pursuit. One of them was the millennium edition which contained six categories like wildcard, people and places, Sports and leisure and so forth. There is also trivial pursuit nascar edition and the 2009 trivial pursuit of game. I was certain the ladies would get this one. But maybe Lawrence can string together some wins if possible. Anyone else here played trivial pursuit for both pc or board game? Jacob, rhonda?
Lou, yes my family did play the board version of trivial pursuit. We never played the PC version though.
I have the board game tucked away, it’s been decades since I last played it.
