Classic

Trivial Pursuit has been a household name for years. I remember hearing of the game as a child and seeing all of the adults play this "quiz game" that I was just far too young to take part in. If I was lucky, I would get to join in the festivities, but I was really too young to know anything, so God help whoever's team I was on.

Eventually I grew older and I got to experience to this trivia classic in all of its glory. Forget Who Wants to be a Millionaire. If you really want to flex your trivia muscles, this is where it's at. How do you like them apples, Regis?

However, if you're like me, it's not always that easy to find a group of people to play with. Someone is always babysitting or working a late shift or too tired from a morning shift. It can rather hard to get a game going. Luckily for us, the popular board game made the migration to home computers, without losing any of it's classic charm.

Now, what do you remember about the 90s?

Bring on the 90s

When you start a game, you're presented with quite a bit of options. First off, you choose how many "wedges" you want to play, which basically means you're choosing the game length. This is really good for people who just like the game in short bursts, but at the same time, it can accommodate those who prefer grueling marathon sessions. Then you can choose a couple "special" rules if you'd like. Then choose your difficulty and you're off!

The way the game works in this: the game board is divided into wedges, which you must claim to eventually win. To claim a wedge, you must land on a certain spot and answer the question correctly. If you do so, the wedge is yours and will go up into your meter by your name. Once you have gained enough wedges (which you set before the game), you must go back to the center hub where you started and answer a question correctly to win.

You can play either by yourself, which will pit you against the not-so-adorable Mr. Bear, or up to three of your friends. Take it from me, you might want to practice a little bit against the stuffed animal before taking on any live opponents.

If playing against Mr. Bear, when he is presented with a question, you have a chance to steal the board from him by guessing the correct answer before he does. Doing so "locks" that answer and forces him to choose a wrong one.

When playing against friends, the game goes until three of the players have finished, giving out 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards.

Timeless Fun

Trivial Pursuit: Bring on the 90s is a fantastic trivia game, especially for those with a fascination for the 1990s. What really makes it special is that it can be enjoyed with a group of people, or just by yourself. Careful though, Mr. Bear can be pretty scary.
