About the game
These came out at the height of the Trivial Pursuit craze in the early 1980s and has rules as a stand-alone trivia game or for use with Trivial Pursuit. Like the official expansions of the time, this one has 1000 cards with 6000 questions and answers. The categories are: Soaps: Peyton Place, Dallas and beyond Another World Cartoons: Bugs Bunny, The Flintstones, Pink Panther and more Space: Sputnik to Star Wars, Buck Rogers to Apollo Famous Pairs: Antony and Cleopatra to Bette Davis' eyes Advertising Slogans: Memorable lines that sold us all Fairplay: If it's trivia, it's eligible The back of the box promised three more sets of Forte Trivia Cards. Forte Trivia Cards Volume II has a BGG entry, although its description says it contained only 363 cards instead of the promised 1000. But Volumes 3 and 4 were, to the best of my knowledge, never produced. There were some good questions, but a bunch of gamers in their twenties had no idea for the answers to the Soaps questions.
