Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition – Bite Size (2004)

About this game

This is another in the "Bite-Size" range of Trivial Pursuit games. Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition – Bite Size is intended as a portable travel game. The game is packaged in a wedge ("piece-of-pie") shaped box. The game does not feature a game board, and thus, there is no roll-and-move mechanic. Instead, players roll the colour coded die, and answers a question matching the colour rolled. The colours correspond to categories that include geography, entertainment, history, arts & literature, science & nature, and sports & leisure. If a player correctly answers a question, he may "go for a wedge" by answering another question in the same category. If he does so, he keeps that card. If the player answers a question incorrectly, it is the next players turn. Play ends when a player has collected six cards/correctly answered 12 questions.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 15 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
