The quintessential board game used in television to indicate, first, a test of skills between characters to see which one is the smartest, and second, an excuse for [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious bickering]] as players argue over whether someone is winning because they're actually smarter or because they're getting ludicrously easy questions. In shorthand, while many board games are treated as [[Luck -Based Mission|luck-based missions]] for which the winner is of little ultimate consequence, Trivial Pursuit will be a matter of [[Serious Business]]. The irony will not be lost on those who realize that the game's title is a pun on the old expression "trivial pursuits", i.e, pointless adventures that never accomplish anything.
 
The rules to this game are almost always irrelevant in terms of its use on television, but for what it's worth, the object is to [[Gotta Catch Em All|collect]] six different colored spokes, each color corresponding to a different general interest category, and put them in the player's game-piece, a wheel. Once the wheel has all six spokes, the player may journey to the center of the board for a final question. Answer this question right, and the game is won. Otherwise, rinse and repeat.
