If one player gets out to an early lead, one player could catch up easily by helping a couple other players since those players wonвЂ™t ask the player in first for help. The help mechanic can also turn into an unfair catch up mechanic or can let a player help another player win the game. Since you only need to get six questions right to win the game, giving help to just a couple players will get you close to winning the game. While I like the ask a friend mechanic, the one issue with it is that it doesnвЂ™t live up to itsвЂ™ potential based on how short the game is. This leads to some strategy since while you might need help with a question, you might need to avoid asking for help from players who are ahead of you. The player can get help with a question and the helper gets the same reward so they have an incentive to help out. I actually really like the idea behind the mechanic since it actually adds a little strategy to the game and offers help when you get a question you donвЂ™t know the answer to. Other than streamlining the original game, Trivial Pursuit Party also adds an ask a friend mechanic. While I commend Trivial Pursuit Party for not being as frustratingly difficult as the original game, I think it became a little too easy. While the questions arenвЂ™t insultingly easy, if you know anything about the topic of the question you will probably know the answer. This is partially because I was able to use categories I knew better but it was also because the questions just seem to be easier in general.

In Trivial Pursuit Party I probably got around 75-80% of the questions correct. In the original Trivial Pursuit you would be lucky to get 25-50% of the questions right if you were really good at trivia. Trivial Pursuit Party can be quite easy at times especially if you try to always answer questions from your best categories. This ability to have more choice over the questions you choose does create a problem though. While the roll of the dice will still impact which categories you can choose from, you can tailor the game more to the topics you know the best instead of hoping to luck into a question you know from a category you know little about. No longer do you need to answer a question from that annoying art category that would otherwise take you 20 attempts to get. If you know nothing about a particular category you can still win the game by answering questions from other categories.

Trivial Pursuit Party doesnвЂ™t require you to get one question right from every category. This leads to easily the best addition to Trivial Pursuit Party in my opinion. When you land on the needed category you have to answer it correctly or you are back to hoping to land on the category again. In between you land on spaces where the only benefit of getting the question right is being able to move again.

You can waste several rounds just trying to land on the category you need. It is difficult just landing on the space that would let you answer a question from the category that you need. Possibly the most frustrating part of Trivial Pursuit is when you are within one or two wedges from winning the game and then you just canвЂ™t get the last two wedges. The main thing that I think really helps streamline the game is the fact that you donвЂ™t have to get one question right from every category in order to win the game. I will admit that in some ways Trivial Pursuit Party might be a little too short though because it is a little too easy to get all of the wedges required to win the game. Some games of the original Trivial Pursuit feel like they are never going to end after the fifth time you get an answer wrong for a given category.

I really like that Trivial Pursuit Party doesnвЂ™t drag on like the original game. While most games of Trivial Pursuit could easily take over an hour to complete, games of Trivial Pursuit Party will usually only take around 15-30 minutes to complete. Trivial Pursuit Party is basically a streamlined version of Trivial Pursuit. My Thoughts on Trivial Pursuit PartyД«efore playing the game I really liked the concept for Trivial Pursuit Party. The yellow player has acquired six wedges and has won the game.
