Why are their 'Genus' additions? What about kingdom, phylum or species?-— Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.117.67.5 (talk) 20:40, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably because it sounds like "genius"? DS (talk) 19:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would say because there are six "genus" of questions. Shikamoo (talk) 04:17, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Genus refers to the type of question TP aimed for -- not so specialized ("species") that only an expert in the field would know it, but not so broad that anyone might guess. Something reasonably detailed. Also, since this was a general-knowledge set (unlike the specialized sets that Horn Abbott contemplated from the very beginning), using a word from the same root gave that impression. --Apascover (talk) 02:33, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

American Trivia Federation

The main source for the edit I'm preparing on this article's main list is the American Trivia Federation's editions guide. That guide categorizes editions differently from this article's list, but it includes the title (some of which are different), the year, and the categories in the set. It doesn't, however, clearly indicate whether an edition is a stand-alone game, a supplement, or atypical edition. It also leaves out all multimedia versions. The reason for copying their list here is that if they update or expand theirs, this list will show how it was when I did this edit.

Since the ATF page is a collection of facts, I doubt they'll object to copying some of their material, but I'll e-mail them just in case, and blank this section if they don't like it. —Steve98052 (talk) 09:18, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

Why are US editions not "international editions" ? The game was invented in Canada and the first Genus edition is basically Canadian -- 65.92.180.225 (talk) 10:42, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    You are spot on, eh!  "Give credit where credit is due ..." as the ages-old expression goes. Canada is the country where the game was invented, published and first played.  It is a Canadian game, and the U.S. is a separate nation which should always be included in any subsequent national listings.  To show the difference between the Canadian and the U.S. standard edition, I made an offer on eBay for a Canadian edition card set for "Trivial 80's" as a tip of my hat to the Canadian inventor of the game.  I found that as opposed to the standard U.S. edition, more than a quarter of the cards in the Canadian card set are about factoids known only to Canadians, eh?  I also have a German Language edition of Trivial Pursuit, which like the standard American editions using standard North American English have many questions that are, like the German language edition, unique to the language.  If for OK one then OK for all, I say. QED: all three editions are indeed "international" editions, and this Wiki's author should insure that the U.S. edition is included in every "international" listing. K.

Should this include the video games?

e.g. there was an official version of the game for the ZX Spectrum and other home computers in the 1980s. Equinox ◑ 16:29, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
