Description:
Trivia for Dummies is a board game for 3 to 4 players and for ages 12 to adult. There are two decks of cards with this game, answer cards and question cards. The players each receive a set of answer cards that are color coordinated with the color of their playing piece. On each of the answer cards are both a number and a color. The players will use these cards to answer the questions. On the set of question cards there are four topics: miscellaneous, color, numbers, and true/false.

Review:
My family loves this game. Don’t let the name fool you, some of
the questions are hard. This game is very fast paced and can be completed very quickly. My 9 and 10 year old even knew quite a few of the answers to the questions.

The board is also set up in the four topics, with a few move forward, and move backward spaces thrown in to mix it up. The first player rolls the dice, moves the number of spaces according to the dice. Then they take a question card and read the question that corresponds with their space on the board. The other players must choose the answer from their answer cards and be the first to put the card in the middle of the board. The person, who gets the answer right, is the person who goes next. Game play ends when you complete a full circle around the board and arrive at the finish spot.

Criticism:
The cons of this game would be that once you go through the question cards a few times you will not find this game very fun, because the questions are easily remembered.

    I LOVE trivia games. My kids are still young for me to rope them in and I can only seem to talk my husband into the games when we’re camping.

    How many cards does it come with or does your family play this a LOT, so you’ve run out?

Got something to say?
