How to play Trivial Pursuit Trivial Pursuit is a board game in which you have to show your general knowledge. This game can be played as individuals, from two to six people, or in teams if there are more than six people who want to play. For this game you need the Trivial’s board with different colour boxes, the playing tokens with six slots for the wedges, a die and the flash cards with questions and answers. There are six categories of questions, each one related to one colour (the colours on the boxes): Geography (blue), Science and Nature (green), Sports (orange), shows, cinema , TV (pink), Art and Literature (brown) and History (yellow). The game starts on the centre of the board. A person or team rolls the die and move the token the spaces indicated on the die. If they answer correctly the question of that box, they keep rolling the die and answering more questions until they say a wrong answer. Next, the other person or team continues rolling the die and doing the same process. The objective of the game is to get the six wedges of the six questions categories. You can get one by answering correctly the question on a “pie box” (these are special boxes with an image of the token with a wedge in it). The first person or team in getting the six wedges has to move to the centre of the board. Then the opponent chooses a category (without looking at the card before) and asks a question from that category. If the answer is correct, that person or team wins the game. If not, they have to roll again during the next turn and try to answer a different question when they get into the centre box again. ** I never thought that writing the instructions for a board game was so difficult... Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks in advance for your help!      I am impressed with your writing skills, as you said, writing instructions for a game in a foreign language is not easy.   Well done!
