Toys and Games Reviews of Mental Floss Trivia Game
Customer Review: Brain all gummed up? Try Mental Floss!
Summary: 4 Stars
Brain all gummed up after too much work and no play? Well then try Mental Floss! Mental Floss ties knots around the fluffy newer trivia games. Be prepared for some fun and fascinating literature, nature and science questions. I found them much less pop-culturesque than many Trivial Pursuit questions. The premise is simple, pick a colored gamepiece and place it on a like colored square. Roll the dice, land of the appropriate square and you'll answer either a "left-brained question" (regarding something sciency), a "right-brained question" (something literary or artsy) or you'll get the chance to to dispel "the big fat lie", wherein you must decide which one of two historical situations is true and which one is false; a correct answer to either of the three will win you a token (6 tokens will win you the game). Once in a while you may land on a space entitling you to a chance at an "Enlightening Round". For that, answer 3 related questions and win a token (or risk it all to answer the hardest question to win another turn). A unique plus: play goes back and forth between players and the questions are less obscure so it's a much faster game than TP. I'd recommend the game for knowledgeable children and adults 12+. The negatives of the game are the game pieces: the colored gamepieces are boring and made from a colored sticker and plastic. And the tokens? They're made of cardboard. It's not like it's Barbie Trivia Game- the manufacturer recommends it for players 15+ (pretty much adults)! So, I'm left to wonder why they created such a great game and spent no time on the tangibles. Despite it's material flaws, it is a fun and interesting addition to anyone's board game collection, with refreshing questions worth knowing the answers to!
