Review: Trivial Pursuit: 1980's Edition

| 0 Comments

ota hosted a 1980s Trivial Pursuit game tonight. Trivial Pursuit is one of the games that launched in the 80s that I never really played as a kid. What I learned tonight about the 1980s is that whenever a "thespian" is mentioned in the 1980s, it's probably "Arnold Schwartznegger". The Democrat in the 1980s is "Gary Hart" and the Republican is either "George H.W. Bush" or "Ronald Reagan", depending on whether it takes place before or after 1988.
I've decided that as far as board games go, I do not like Trivial Pursuit played the correct way -- with only the corner pieces counting for points, the game takes far too long.
