Last night I gathered with a bunch of Mom Blogger friends*
(in attendance: April, Jessica, Elise, me, Jennifer (in photo), and Bernadette, Laura, Yvonne and Kim (not pictured)) and we played Trivial Pursuit, 
a fun board game in the old days, and now a fun virtual game created by Electronic Arts, who also provided the game for us to try.
We had a ton of fun yakking about our kids, their schools and our blogs, as we always do, and the game was a great extension of that. We split into 2 teams of 4 so that we could interact and figure out the answers together. As with the old version of the game, some questions are ridiculously easy and others you’d need a Ph.D. to get right. The geography questions are especially hard, not only because we Americans are notoriously bad at that subject, but because the game shows maps without those helpful country divisions drawn on them even. Difficult! It’s also got a shot clock, basically insuring that the game doesn’t drag on forever. 
I had a great time playing Trivial Pursuit and I would highly recommend it. If your kids were old enough, it would work as a family game as well, but since my kids are young-ish, I’m going to keep it for me and mom friends.
Thanks to Elise of Elise’s Ramblings for letting us use her Wii and TV!
