Trivial Fruit
In the wake of the Trivial Pursuit fad, Pirate has released its own budget version, entitled Trivial Fruit.
The game presents a series of questions, together with five multiple-choice answers, representing a different fruit. Selecting the correct answer rewards the player with that fruit, which appears on his score card. The card is filled completely to win a 'long game' but a 'short game' only continues until, in true one-armed bandit style, the player achieves three of a kind.
An adjustable timer is provided to keep up the pressure, and up to four players may compete individually. The program contains ten sets of questions, and also supports inclusion of the player's own questions.
as with its more famous predecessor, Trivial Fruit is tremendous fun when played in a crowd, and the package is surprisingly comprehensive. Cost-conscious Triv fans could do a lot worse than this offering from Pirate.
