Trivial Pursuit Rules

EQUIPMENT

Trivial Pursuit contains one playing board, one die, 1,000 question-and-answer cards, two card boxes, six player tokens and 36 scoring wedges.

OBJECT OF THE GAME

The winner is the player who first returns to the hexagonal hub and correctly answers' a question in a category chosen by the other players. Before attempting a game-winning question, a player must land in each of the six category headquarters and correctly answer a question.

START OF PLAY

Each player selects a token and receives six scoring wedges, one in each of the six category colors.

Players roll the die, with the player rolling the highest number moving first. If two or more players tie, they roll again.

The player with first turn rolls the die again and, starting from the hub, moves the token the indicated number of spaces in any direction. The first move for each player will end either in a category headquarters at the end of a spoke, if the die roll is 6, or in a category space, if the dies roll is 1 through 5.

When a token lands in a category space or headquarters, the player is asked a question in that category.

The categories are color-coded:

Blue.......................Geography
Pink.......................Entertainment
Yellow.....................History
Brown......................Art & Literature
Green......................Science & Nature
Orange.....................Sports & Leisure

The question, next to the appropriate colored dot, is taken from the first card in either box and is read by another player. Answers are on the opposite side of each card. The next question comes from the first card in the other box.

If the player correctly answers the question, the turn continues with another roll of the die. If the player answers incorrectly, the turn passes to the left.

A move may include a change of direction with each die roll or at an intersection, but backtracking is not allowed. A player must always move the number of spaces shown on the die.

CONTINUATION OF PLAY

Play continues, with cards placed in the rear of the box from which they are drawn after each question.

When a category headquarters requirement is met, the appropriate scoring wedge is placed in the player's token. If the player answers incorrectly, the token must leave the headquarters on the next turn and later re-enter it for the player to attempt another question for credit.
