TRIVIAL PURSUIT is a board game where the object is to move around the game board by correctly answering trivia questions on general knowledge and pop culture.

The questions are split into 6 categories, with each category having its own identifying color. In the classic edition of TRIVIAL PURSUIT GENUS, the categories are Geography (blue), Entertainment (pink), History (yellow), Arts & Literature (Brown), Science & Nature (green), and Sports and Leisure (orange).

There have been question sets designed for younger players and also for a specific time period. There have even been questions relating to themes like Star Wars, Saturday Night live, and The Lord of the Rings.

The players start in the “hub” of the wheel or center of the board. The players take turns rolling the dice and move their tokens the number of squares indicated by the dice.

They can move in which ever direction they choose. Once the dice lands, a different player draws a card from the pile and asks the player who rolled a question from the card that corresponds to the color. If the player answers correctly, they can then roll the dice again.

If the square is one of the special squares located at an intersection, the player is awarded what is known as a “scoring wedge”, “cheese” or “pie” that represents the color of the square, if they do not already have that color wedge. If the player answers incorrectly, it is the next players turn.

The game continues in this way until a player has collected wedges of all 6 colors, and then moves his or her marker back to the hub. When this happens, the other players select one color and read the question from that category. In order to win the game, the player must answer the question correctly.

If the player does not answer the question correctly, the game continues until that player or another player with all 6 color wheels moves to the hub and answers the chosen category question correctly.
