The Trivial Pursuit Master Game – Genus Edition is the original and most iconic version of the classic trivia board game, first released in 1981. Designed for 2–6 players (or teams), it challenges players’ general knowledge across a wide range of subjects as they race to collect six colored wedges and reach the center of the board to win.

Description

The Genus Edition features 6,000 trivia questions covering six categories:

• Blue – Geography
• Pink – Entertainment
• Yellow – History
• Brown – Art & Literature
• Green – Science & Nature
• Orange – Sports & Leisure

Players roll a die to move around the circular game board, answering questions based on the color of the space they land on. Correct answers allow players to continue their turn, and landing on a category headquarters space offers the chance to earn a colored wedge. The first player to collect all six wedges and correctly answer a final question in the center of the board wins the game.
