What it is

Roll the die, answer a question in one of six categories, and fill your token with colored wedges. A right answer keeps your turn going, and a final question on the center hub decides it. Hasbro's Classic Edition packs 2,400 questions and a retro board. Best for grown-ups and older teens who enjoy knowing things out loud.

What we love

  • Six categories give everyone a corner to shine in, from Sports and Leisure to Art and Literature
  • Works in teams, so a bigger group can still join
  • The finish is tense: land exactly on the hub and answer a question the others pick

Honest trade-offs

  • The Classic Edition is rated 16 and up, and the questions show it
  • One trivia specialist can run away with it
  • Roll-and-move can drag out the hunt for a final wedge
