Some trivia

One of the things that won’t be coming to the new house. Trivial Pursuit was first published in 1981 and had its heyday in the 1980s and 1990s. It was invented by two Canadians, Chris Haney and Scott Abbott. They had planned to play Scrabble but found some of the pieces in their set were missing. So instead they decided to invent a board game, as it turned out, a phenomenally successful one. And, to add a suitably trivial note, some of the research for the 6,000 questions was conducted in Weymouth Public Library in Dorset.
