I am looking for a game similar to trivila pursuit whose questions are all science-based. Or even mostly.

Does anybody know of such a thing?

Back in the early '90s, I played that game. It was called "College."

I could help you is you wanted Latin/Roman History/ Greco-Roman mythology based. It's called Certamen and is played nationaly by geeks like me.

That's exactly what I'm looking for.

But it doesn't exist, at least not by Trivial Pursuit.

They have a 90s edition, and two pop culture editions, but nothing for me. [Grumble]

mph,
I think you've stumbled upon a business opportunity here, though there may not be much demand. In any case, it's gotta be better than a Jump To Conclusions board game.

Have you tried playing "Mastermind"?
Not really trivial pursuit, but it makes you use your brain. [Smile]

Yeah, I've played Mastermind. I consider it more of a puzzle and not so much a game.

I'm trying to come up with a fun nerdy present for my brother. I'm failing.

I think I'll go do the local game shop today and get their advice.
