This revised version of Trivial Pursuit has been designed with family play in mind. I bought a Family Edition Trivial Pursuit in 2014, and this version seems almost identical to the one I received then. In some respects this game came as a significant let down in comparison to the original 1990s version of the Family game we had had growing up - there used to be huge boxes of question cards, now there are only 200 cards each for adults and children - in others, the pared back format is an advantage. Most notably in that with the revised board structure it's actually possible for game play to be completed within a reasonable time frame. If anyone else is coming to present day Trivial Pursuit with expectations based on very early versions of the game,

My 10 year old daughter and I have been enjoying this game very much, I think it would be even more fun in teams but we have trouble getting anyone to play board games with us so always glad to find one that works well with 2. I was worried the kid questions would be too easy for her but the rating of the game is 8 and up and the levels seem perfect for her. She can answer about 1 in every 4 which is about the same as me on the adult questions so we quite often both end up with our pies filled and heading to the middle together.It’s much quicker than original triv as you just get one question per turn then, win or lose, it’s the next persons turn so less waiting around.

I remember playing 'Triv' in the 80s when I was 9 or 10, so I was chuffed to be able to get this now with my own family (kids 7 and 10). This 'family' edition is a bit simpler in presentation that the traditional box I remember - the colours, board and rules have all been 'dumbed down' a little so it doesn't feel as sophisticated a game as the original version (you can pick up a piece of pie on virtually any go). That said, the redesign has made the game way quicker so you can probably crank out a family game in 15-20 minutes rather than the hour the 'full version' used to take. The questions are well pitched in both the childrens and adult packs.

Trivial Pursuit remains an excellent family or after dinner game, but a number of people (especially younger people) complain it takes too long to win a game. This new version, the Family Edition, has taken a couple of steps that shorten the game length. Basically, the single die that you throw has numbers 1 to 5 and a wedge shape. When you throw a wedge shape you can go to any wedge shape on the board. When you land on a wedge you get a question which if you answer correctly, you are rewarded with a 'piece of pie'. As you can imagine this means that you get far more opportunities to win a wedge, and achieving all six pieces of pie is much quicker.The other speed improvement is that there are separate questions for children or younger people.

Trivial pursuit is a firm favourite in our family, and we've had a number of versions in the years since it first appeared on the market. This family version keeps all that's great about the game, and simplifies it as well as making it suitable for a wider spread of ages. Our youngest is nine, and the children's questions are perfectly pitched for her. There are very few that are *really* easy (which was a bit of problem with a previous family version we owned), but quite a few that will test older children as well as adults! The adult questions are a little more contemporary, meaning our 13 year old could answer quite a number too.The mechanics have also been altered,

Thankfully board games still haven't lost their draw and my almost 7 year old daughter is as excited about board games as she is with a new app on her iPad :) This was a christmas gift for the whole family. Some of the questions are a little tricky for a 7 year old so on occasion we help her out by giving her a little 'guidance' or turning the question into a multiple choice question, and sometimes she just gets lucky and has a good guess. Getting a question right is really confidence boosting for her and there is a skill to be learnt in having a good calculated guess too. This is the most up to date version of the game, or at least it was just before christmas 2015. Prior to buying this,

I was a little concerned ordering this initially, after reading that people had received the travel set or the US version. But with Amazons good policies on returning items, I thought might as well take a punt, after all there at a lot of positive reviews too.I am pleased to say it is exactly what is advertised.I brought this for my daughter and we have played it a few times over Christmas, she has won on a couple of occasions too, which has pleased her no end.The questions are all very mixed ability and having the adults vs. children is a great way to engage the whole family, it's nice to urn the tech off and just have a giggle together.The only thing we don't like is the board layout,

We had a lot of fun with this game over Christmas and New Year and it's great to have a game that's divided into children and adults although we swapped the cards around because the grand kids were winning hands down!. Colorful and nicely presented in a hardy cardboard box that will last for ages. The cards take a lot of wear and tear without creasing or ripping. Questions are varied and interesting and cover most categories from TV to sport, Royalty, geography, film much more. Full instructions included and the recommended age range is 8 years plus but; my 7 year old grandson loves to play particularly because we keep a laptop handy and browse the answer if he isn't sure.

Plenty of questions to keep the family going with 2400 question and answer cards, 1200 are for adults and 1200 of them are for the children. Perfect game for trivia enthusiasts of all ages. It has the same 6 categories (geography, entertainment, history, art & culture, science & nature and sport & leisure)What's In The Box :2400 cards1 gameboard6 scoring tokens, 36 scoring wedges and 1 die.Obviously you need at least two players, up to the maximum 6. The age range this is suitable for is ages 8+ Due to small parts best to keep away from smaller children or you could find yourself short of a wedge or two. What I have always liked about this game is the simple rules, nothing complicated to learn to start playing.

This is a great idea – a version of Trivial Pursuit with cards suitable for adults and children, meaning the whole family can play together. The board is a little quicker to complete, I think, than the usual one. In format, it is much the same. You get a question right to put a triangular shape into the circular piece that you move around the board. Get one question right from all the different subjects (sports and leisure, history, arts and literature, science and nature, geography and entertainment) to win.This is suitable for ages 8+ and is great fun. If you are looking for a board game at Christmas, for example, when you will have different generations together, then this is a great idea.

Fab game for the family. Kids questions are really good - examples topics are social media stars, and school topics eg Vikings or Roman's, and includes some multiple choice.Have played with all my children, either one-on-one or altogether. Their ages are 17 (played with the adult cards), 14 (chose two categories to play adult cards from and four categories for kids) and 12 and 11 who both played the kids cards (and win quite a lot!)Only issue is that we have played so many games (about 3 a night) since we bought it a week ago, that we are seeing some repeated questions nearly every time so have had to use the second deck of cards for both adult and children already.

On a wet and dreary Sunday, with the family all feeling a bit down in the dumps, we decided that some quality family time playing a board game was just what we needed. So after a lot of arguing about what to play and a quick trip to Argos to buy it, Family Trivial Pursuit was bought. And we weren't let down. In the game there are 2 packs of questions, one for the children and one for the adults, therefore making the game more inclusive for ALL of the family. The only arguments being with the adults arguing that they should have the childrens questions too! Lots of fun was had by all and brightened up a dreary day.The only negative was that 2 of the counters were both blue.

This is the same Trivial Pursuit that has been around for over 30 years so no difference in the game play, just two sets of questions. Prior to getting this we generally split into two teams for Trivial Pursuit. I played with my 13 year old daughter and my wife with my 18 year old son. It was OK, but there was a tendancy for me to dominate the answers. However with this version my daughter has a more than fair shout at answering the questions. Arguably the children's questions are a little too easy for a teenager (probably best for 9-12 year olds) but at least it allows all four of us to play against each other on a somewhat even basis. Of course, my daughter won,

Amazon reviewsThis is a new family favourite, the idea is that adults can play their children on a more even playing field because there are adult questions and childrens questions.The board and pieces are all solid and in the keeping of the Trivial Pursuit brand.The kids questions are varied, I would say aged eight plus.In a time when board games struggle to find a market, this managed to keep my kids occupied for several hours and funnily enough they were more settled at bed time than if they had been watching television or their tablets.I would recommend anyone with kids, Grandchildren or the occasional little visitor get this game. They will love it.

I have kids aged 9 and 11, and adults aged much more than that who have spent a lifetime playing TP. We've got 2 or 3 other versions but the questions are now getting a bit old. This set works well, with two sets of questions that balance adults and kids chances effectively, and are reasonably current (2017, I think). If younger kids are struggling then get a set of Harry Potter question cards to use instead and they'll be away. One star off for not having enough question cards (200 each of adult and youth - a bit stingy) and because they've messed with the dynamics of the board layout unnecessarily.
