Toys and Games Reviews of The Beatles Trivial PursuitCustomer Review: Ask Me Why?! I'll say I love it! Summary: 5 Stars
It goes without saying that this Beatles Trivial Pursuit game isn't going to break any historical ground among the over-zealous, hardcore Beatle-maniacs out there who know the answers to questions like: who was the screen-writter for "Yellow Submarine," the movie (Lee Minoff); or what type of car did George drive John and their respective wives home in durinig their first LSD experience (a Mini); or the name of the photographer who shot the infamaous "Butcher Cover" scene for the American album "Yesterday...and Today," (Robert Whitaker). If you know the answers to these questions then, yes!!!, you'll be sadly dissappointed with this game!
However, if you are just a casual Beatles fan, or someone who thinks they know a lot about the Beatles but have only the knowledge that was provided to you via teenie-bopper mag's from the 60's, or even if you are a young admirer that was born just a little too late (like me!) to experience Beatle-mania in its fullest, but love them all the same; this game rocks it!
Yeah, the gameboard is a bit flimsey, and the board pieces are generic to the original game, but so what?! The whole point of this game is the questions! I remember having board games as a kid (especially Trivial Pursuit!) where the boards whould fall apart after two or three uses. Plus, this one has the bonus track that might actually allow you to finish a game in one night! (if you like). As for specialized game pieces?...I hear the Beatles Monopoly game has a pretty good thing going for it!
Basically what I'm saying is: you can't please 'em all the time! I love this game...I'm not the Beatles expert, but I know a lot more than most (one pie wedge goes to who can point out what book Lennon pulls out of a book case, kisses and reads in "Help!" the movie,... which, i might add, the game got wrong!). Despipte this, I was still stumped by a lot of the questioins...and what I also know is that this game is fantastic! With all the hub-bub around Beatles-related merchandise recently; Rock Band, Digital Remasters, clothing, T.V. advertisinig, popssible iTunes downloading, etc...I think this game gives something unique to the more devoted Beatles fans out there that want to have a little more fun with their favorite musical group, but aren't so over the top that this is all old brown bag material!
So! If you want to have a good time with some fellow Beatles friends, party, have some drinks, listen to some Sgt. Pepper and Revolver while finding out some things you may not have known about your fav Fab Four; get the game! If you're concerned about mint-in-box condition collectors items, making money off of the beauty that was the Beatles, or know absolutely EVERYTHING there is to know about John, Paul, George, Ringo, and everyone else who had a hard day's night, then just pass it up...and do us little children who may not be as "worthy" as you a favor...and let us enjoy the glory that is...the BEATLES!!!
P.S. those first questions were ones I pulled out of my head and are not in the game to my knowledge, as I have not read every question in the game. If you knew those before hand, try and answer only hard (5-6 level) questions the whole game...if you get all of them right...I suggest you find a new band to become obsessed with!
