Genus II was a great disappointment... all of the questions are either impossible, blatantly obvious, or "I-didn't-know-that-the-answer-is" questions. (Example: Q:"What does a grateful Swahili mean when he says ?" A:"I didn't know that, the answer is 'Thank You'.") We're too young for the Baby Boomers Edition and too old for the Young People's Edition. Most of us don't know enough about sports for the All-Star Edition or enough about music for the RPM Edition. So, for this Christmas, I'm looking for trivia games other than Trivial Pursuit. Problem is, there are dozens, and you just know that most of them are worthless. So I'm appealing to the Net. Do you know of any trivia games, or trivia card sets usable with Trivial Pursuit, that are any good? I'm looking for a generic trivia game, like Genus I, but recommendations for good single-subject games are welcome. A large number of question cards is very important. Please MAIL your recommendations to me. I'll summarize the responses (if any) in net.games.trivia. in advance. (:-)) David D.
