“Back to the ’80s” Trivial Pursuit Includes a Stranger Things Category

If you’re looking for some 80s nostalgia, check out the Back to the 80’s Edition of Trivial Pursuit. It has a Stranger Things theme even though Stranger Things is technically only set in the ’80s. Test your knowledge about all things ’80s and see how much you remember from that awesome decade.

The game has 1,500 new questions on 250 cards in six categories: Movies; TV; Music; Famous People and Events; Trends, Tech and Fun; and Stranger Things. In keeping with the Stranger Things theme, the board has portal spaces. When you land on these they send all players to the Upside Down, where you can lose wedges for providing incorrect answers. I hope Luke Skywalker doesn’t play this. You know, because he might lose Wedge. His friend. That would be heartbreaking. Never mind.

Anyway if you want to go back to the ’80s but don’t have a DeLorean and aren’t a cyborg looking for John Connor, this is the game for you. You can pre-order it right now on Amazon for $19.99. It’s expected to start shipping on May 1, 2018.

Rick and Morty Trivial Pursuit Answers All the Questions in the Multiverse

Trivial Pursuit is generally one of those games some hate to play, and others love. The original game had questions based on all sorts of general knowlege, and there are numerous versions for fans of specific movies or shows. Not long ago we talked about a Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit game that was for fans of the Potterverse. Now, Rick and Morty fans can get a set of their own themed question cards for their Trivial Pursuit.

The card set includes 600 Ricktacular questions for you to try and answer. Categories include Frienemies, Technology & Science, Locations, Rick and the Family, History & Events, and a Wubalubadubdub Wild Card. The set includes the question cards, a storage box, and a die, but you’ll need to BYO game board, player pie pieces, and portal gun.

Naturally, given some of the crazy sh*t that happens on the show, the game is recommended for ages 17 and up. Entertainment Earth is offering the game for pre-order now for $19.99 and shipping will happen next month.

Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit: Winning Proves You’re Smarter on the Inside

The Doctor Who merchandising machine has really kicked into high gear of late. It seems like every time we turn around there is something new carrying the Doctor Who brand. This time out, there is a new trivia game for fans of the series to compete against each other with.

The game is the Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit Travel Edition. It’s like traditional Trivial Pursuit, but all the questions are Doctor Who themed, naturally.

I think my friends might like this game. I usually dominate at normal Trivial Pursuit, leaving my opponents feeling dumb and defeated (with good reason). They won’t play the game with me anymore. Since I have never watched a single episode of Doctor Who all the way through, they might have a chance.

The cards have 600 questions and include categories like Time Lords, Companions, Episodes & Stories, Monsters, Cast, Crew, & Beyond, and Years and Dates. The game is available for $19.99(USD) from ThinkGeek. The game comes with a Dalek die,  numerous question cards, and a blue wedge container to hold it all. What, no TARDIS?
