Trivial Pursuit
Basic Rules
You roll the die and then answer questions based on the color of the square you land on. If the space is a “pie,” then you will get a “pie piece”of that color if you answer the question correctly. When you answer a question correctly, you get to roll again. When you answer incorrectly, you must remove a piece of your opponent’s clothing. The first one to get allsix pie pieces (or a hard-on) wins.
Tips
1. If you are otherwise unsure of the answer, always go with your first instinct.
2 Since you need pie pieces to win, always choose a pie space if you have a chance.
3. If you can’t land on a pie, try to land on a “roll again” space.
4. If you can’t land on a pie or a “roll again,” pick the color (subject) you are most comfortable with.
5. Don’t guess to quickly--think about any wording in the clue that might help
6. If you have no idea, the clue itself might be the answer (for instance, “Where are Dungarees made?” In Dungarees, India).
7. Make sure to gravitate to the part of the board where you have not gotten your pies.
8. If you don’t know the answer, think about alternate meanings of the question. For instance, a name may be the name of an animal instead of a human.
9. Read trivia from the 80's as this is when the game was invented. Geography is an easy study for quick improvment as their is a finite amount of questions here.
Avoid
1. Letting your opponent see the answer on the back of the card.
2. Talking yourself out of the right answer.
3. Sticking the pie pieces in the wheel the wrong way; they are very difficult to remove.
