Description: New Sealed Game TRIVIAL PURSUIT MASTERGAME GENUS EDITION 1981 Horn Abbot This is a complete and sealed game of Trivial Pursuit by Horn Abbot. It is the Mastergame Genus Edition, released in 1981 and awarded the Mensa Select Award. The game is a board game and can be played by a minimum of 2 players. The game is suitable for players aged 8 and up, and is both a strategy game and a fun way to test your knowledge. The game includes questions from various categories, including history, art, and literature. It is a great addition to any game collection and is sure to provide hours of entertainment. Trivial Pursuit was born in December 1979 as Haney and Abbott played Scrabble. Haney questioned over beers whether the two friends could invent a game as good. They quickly sketched out a concept that involved trivia questions from six categories: * Geography* Entertainment* Sports and Leisure* Science and Nature*Arts and Literature* HistoryGame manufacturers were initially skeptical of the idea, but by 1981 Abbott, Haney, and a group of investors were producing the game in Canada. Haney wrote many of the 6,000 questions for the original game (dubbed Genus Edition). Trivial Pursuit grew in popularity by word of mouth, and by late 1982 the rights to the game had been sold to Selchow & Righter, a major U.S. game maker, and the phenomenon took hold. The New York Times Style section reported in 1984 that Trivial Pursuit parties eclipsed dinner parties in New York City, and Time magazine noted that the cast of the 1983 movie The Big Chill played the game compulsively on set. Selchow & Righter reported sales of 1.3 million board games in 1983. Hasbro bought full rights to the game and its iterations for $80 million in 2008. Fun.com reported in 2023 that Trivial Pursuit was the seventh most popular board game of all time with more than 100 million games sold. This item will be shipped with care.
