Q: What game can't you buy
in Lincoln? A: Trivial Pursuit
By Jane Campbell
Trivial Pursuit is the hottest new
game in the country right now, with
sales of more than $1.5 million since
being introduced in the United States
last year, v
Trivial Pursuit is a board game with
dice, but players must answer trivia
questions from six categories.
"People can't get enough of Trivial
Pursuit," said John Moore, a spokes
man for Selchow and Righter, which
manufactures the game.
Bob Morand, owner of the Toy Room,
220 N. 66th St, said he gets 15 to 20
calls a day from people looking for the
game. He said he stopped the waiting
list after 36 names.
The last shipment of Trivial Pursuit
games lasted half an hour at the Toy
Room, Morand said. He said he doesn't
know when the shipment he ordered
more than six weeks ago will arrive.
The manufacturers sell the game to
distributors, he said, and the distribu
tors sell it to different regions. Because
of this, Moore said, he doesn't know
when or how many of the games will be
sent to the Lincoln area.
Trivial Pursuit debuted in Canada in
1982, racking up 100,000 sales in the
first year. Sales jumped to $2.5 million
in 1983.
What kind of people play Trivial
Pursuit?
"Everyone," said Blair Swing, a UNL
senior majoring in construction man
agement. "It crosses the age gap."
Swing said that when playing the
game, he may not know the answers to
a lot of questions, but his parents do.
And there are many that he and his
sister know about, but his parents do
not.
Jeff Mitchell, a UNL senior in math
'and computer science, said he played
Swing's Trivial Pursuit game four or
five times a week.
"I've always been interested in weird
facts," Mitchell said. 'There's a lot of
facts people don't know, but are
interesting."
Mitchell said he enjoys Trivial Pur
suit because it doesn't involve the luck
of the dice as much as most other
board games.
"It appeals to people who think they
know a lot," he said.
But can something that sweeps the
nation as quickly as Trivial Pursuit has
be too good to last? ,
"Trivial Pursuit shattered the price
resistance for board games," Moore
said. Most games sell for around $25, .,
but Trivial Pursuit costs $40.
"I think it says something if people
are willing to invest in it," Moore said.
Four editions of the game will be
available by the end of March, Moore
said. That makes 24,000 different ques
tions. If sales meet the $20 million
mark by the end of this year, Trivial
Pursuit will have more than 20 billion
cards out, which is a world's record,
Moore said.
"I don't think people will get tired of
the game," Moore said. "No one is going
to sit around and memorize 24,000
cards."
