Trivial Pursuit (Two-Player)

SETUP: Each player selects a token and places it on the START space of the board. Separate the question cards by category and difficulty, placing them within reach of both players. Each player has a pie with six wedge-shaped slots (one for each category: Geography, Entertainment, History, Science & Nature, Sports & Leisure, and Arts & Literature).

GAMEPLAY: Players alternate turns, starting with the player of their choice. On your turn: (1) Roll the dice and move your token the indicated number of spaces clockwise around the board. (2) Your opponent reads a question from the category shown on your landing space. (3) You have 10 seconds to answer. (4) If correct, place a wedge of that category color in your pie; if incorrect, your turn ends with no wedge earned. (5) You continue taking turns, moving around the board and answering questions to collect wedges.

WEDGE COLLECTION: You must collect one wedge from each of the six categories to complete your pie. Once you've collected all six wedges, you move to the CENTER SPACE on your next turn.

WINNING: The first player to reach the CENTER SPACE AND successfully answer a final championship question (chosen by their opponent from any category) wins the game. If you answer incorrectly, your turn ends and you return to the outer board to collect any remaining wedges before attempting the center again.

2-PLAYER ADAPTATION: The classic game supports 3-6 players, but the 2-player version simplifies turn structure by eliminating team play and accelerating gameplay. Players directly compete rather than forming alliances, making every question critical. The 10-second time limit is enforced strictly by opponent, adding competitive tension. Some editions include a 2-player variant rulebook with adjusted difficulty or bonus questions to maintain engagement with fewer competitors.
