We have included the Trivial Pursuit Master Edition specifically because it has been updated to cover many 21st-century themes and it contains a massive 3,000 questions, so you should get a lot of games out of it before you begin to see some of the same cards. Trivia Pursuit has been a popular game since it was first released in 1979, so it should be no surprise that it ranked very highly on our list. Since we do understand that some of our readers may prefer a themed option, we also included Pictopia Disney Edition, which focuses on movies and theme park subject matter from this magical company. It is specifically because of that we decided to eliminate Cafe 6 Kwizniac, since many people found it didn't include enough variety in subject matter, even though it was intended to be a general knowledge game.

We also did our best to include games that cover a wide variety of topics so that every player will find it equally challenging. While it can be difficult to pick the best trivia game for each and every group of people, we are fairly confident we have done a good job of including enough for variety that there will be something to suit every demographic. However, note that this one is just a deck of cards and some simple instructions it doesn't include a board, tokens, or scorekeeping methods like other options do. If you're with a group where some people are trivia buffs and others aren't, this can be a good way to level the playing field. This can be a fun way to tap into obscure pop culture knowledge, but it can also take a while, so either add some time limits or be prepared for a long night.Īlso new to the list, Shot In The Dark features extremely obscure questions like "How many slices of pizza does the average American eat in a year?" and "What is the fastest ever 100m sprint time recorded by someone aged over 100 years old?" If someone actually does know the answer, they win the point, but more often no one is exactly right and the point goes to whoever is closest to the correct answer. Players can then go around and raise the number as high as they think they can (or bluff to make it harder for whoever eventually answers). Players then must decide whether or not they can name a certain number of items in a category (such as four Batman villains or two horror authors). The category in play for that round is determined by a die roll. In their place, we added two games with unique elements that make them stand out from classic-style trivia.Įach card on Geek Out! has five different categories: Games, Comics, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Miscellaneous. Matter of Fact and American Trivia Family Edition were removed due to availability issues. That way, friends and family members of all ages can play to their strengths instead of getting frustrated by questions that they're too old or too young to know the answer to. We replaced it with All Of Us, a more inclusive generation-based game that has four decks: Boomer, Millenial, Gen X, and Gen Z. In this update, we removed Trivillennial by Drunk Stoned And Stupid because several of the cards have incorrect answers, which is quite a big drawback for a trivia game.
