About the game
An advanced Trivial Pursuit version published in Belgium and the Netherlands by Parker and Horn Abbot International. The game is pretty much the same as the standard Trivial Pursuit games, yet has a more diverse and advanced questions set. Every player starts with an empty play piece and has to fill up his piece with 6 different coloured parts by answering questions in the headquarters of 6 categories (geography, entertainment, history, art & literature, science & nature and sports & leisure). To get to the headquarters the players roll dice, advancing on a path and answering questions of the corresponding category. If the answer is correct, the player plays again. If not, the next player takes his/her turn. The first player to fill up on pieces has to return to the center of the board for a final test. If he/she succeeds, he/she wins the game.
