How to Play Trivial Pursuit

Compared to what is this trivial? Life in the fast lane? We say it's more fun. A little less boisterous than Pictionary, Scattergories or Taboo, this game gets your competitive juices flowing with questions and answers in six different color-coded categories of knowledge. Get a correct answer in each category before you can win.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place playing piece tokens for each player (or each team) in the center hub on the board to start the game.

    • 2

      Roll the die to see who gets the highest number to play first. That player gets the die to start the game.

    • 3

      Roll the die on your turn to see how many spaces your token moves.

    • 4

      Move in any direction and turn any way you like at junctions on the board - but you can't move back the way you came (not on the same move, anyway).

    • 5

      Answer the question for the space where you land. Any other player draws a card and asks you the question for the color-coded category of the space you landed on.

    • 6

      Get the right answer (it's on the back of the card) and your turn continues. Roll and move again, and try another question. When you get an answer wrong, your turn is over and play rotates to the next player to your left.

    • 7

      Land on each of the six category headquarters (at the end of each spoke). Collect a colored scoring wedge the first time you correctly answer a question on each headquarters space.

    • 8

      Use your turn to land on the center hub by an exact roll of the die after you have collected all six color wedges.

    • 9

      Answer the game-winning question when you land on the hub. The other players decide your category when you land on the hub to end the game.
