Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition – Bite Size is a board game released in 2004 for 2–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 15 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
This is another in the "Bite-Size" range of Trivial Pursuit games. Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition – Bite Size is intended as a portable travel game. The game is packaged in a wedge ("piece-of-pie") shaped box. The game does not feature a game board, and thus, there is no roll-and-move mechanic. Instead, players roll the colour coded die, and answers a question matching the colour rolled. The colours correspond to categories that include geography, entertainment, history, arts & literature, science & nature, and sports & leisure. If a player correctly answers a question, he may "go for a wedge" by answering another question in the same category. If he does so, he keeps that card. If the player answers a question incorrectly, it is the next players turn. Play ends when a player has collected six cards/correctly answered 12 questions.
Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition – Bite Size supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition – Bite Size is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition – Bite Size for ages 15 and up.
