Title: Not Fun
Review: Our family enjoys games, particularly puzzles and thinking games, so we were excited to try this one which has an intriguing premise. Unfortunately, it was too long, boring, frustrating and not fun. We had a set of 5 including teens who are all gifted, a PHD, and a MD; we consider ourselves good at games. Maybe we are not as smart as we think because we each answered only 2-10 questions correctly in the entire 2 hours of play. And, I don't mind being wrong if I am learning something or entertained by the witty questions, or pleasantly stunned by another player's knowledge of some minutiae, but I could not care less about many of the questions: which of the following was NOT an early 18th century writer? (the right answer was the one writer who was LATE 18th century--gotcha there!) Or how about knowing famous authors' first names? Boring! Inane! We couldn't encourage anyone to take the game home with them; we give it a failing grade.
