Trivial Pursuit War of the Wedges

Product Information

You can make your way to the other side of the board by cutting across the middle along the spokes. You can land on the same space as another player. But you have to land on the hub by exact count. If you overshoot and move past the hub, then keep playing and answer the question for that space. Try to roll an exact count on your next turn to reach the hub. If the player in control missed a question, the question was fielded as a toss-up for the other two players and the one who answered correctly received control and the half-wedge, if it had not already been filled in on his/her pie. If nobody answered correctly, another toss-up was played to determine control. The moment someone pauses or hesitates using the words ‘hmm’ or ‘errrrm,’ everyone must stand up and do a silly dance. That’s the family-friendly version. Are you over 21 and drinking? Then that person has to do a shot! 4. “No Pinks”

At the start of the game, you should all agree on how much time players should be allowed to answer a question. Also, decide how accurate answers should be.

This would allow for more variety of questions, but wait and see how your children are dealing with the yellow questions before you go mixing it up.Another earlier version of the game lists the categories as Every Day, Fun, Stories and Songs, Science, Nature, and Games. While a couple of these categories overlap with the traditional Trivial Pursuit categories (All About Nature pairs with Science, and Music and Movies qualify as Art and Entertainment), there are some wild cards in there that make this game a little less predictable and a little more fun for younger players. All of these categories feature multiple-choice questions regarding subjects that younger kids are familiar with.
