Trivial Pursuit is a board game where players win by answering trivia and pop-culture knowledge questions. Players move their pieces around a board, the squares they land on determining the subject of a question they are asked from a card. Each correct answer allows the player's turn to continue; a correct answer on one of the six "category headquarters" spaces earns a plastic wedge which is slotted into the answerer's playing piece. The object of the game is to collect all six wedges from each "category headquarters" space, and then return to the center "hub" space to answer a question in a category selected by the other players.
Idk abt a full hc, more a prompt, but how do you think syndicate game nights go? I think they have the most Calvin ball rules bc, hello, anarchists. You play a game via principles exclusively and it’s hellish. Knife monoply is only the beginning. Someone still manages to be considered a dirty cheater by everyone else even within the lawless waste land, but idk who. Thoughts?
ohohoho, this. this is delicious.
I don't even WANT to imagine monopoly with the syndicate, because. Anarchy and a game about economy and government do not mix, but it would be hilarious. I think Niki would be the dirty cheater because she's a little Devious, you know? She gets a little silly.
They play BS, the card game, and Niki always wins (I'm gonna do a headcanon with their tells for lying so im not putting em here), because everyone else is absolutely awful at lying.
Techno wins at Trivial Pursuit. No contest. Phil is kind of close but Techno still wipes the floor with everyone. Ranboo suffers, they all agree to never play Trivial Pursuit again. (based on my experience of playing Trivial Pursuit in which my mom has a really bad memory and my dad and I both have good memories and read a lot, so she has banned us from playing Trivial Pursuit at game night because she suffers)
When they play Scrabble, Phil wins because he uses words in ancient languages and no one can contest him on it because "were YOU alive two thousand years ago? No? Didn't think so."
Connor wins at Uno, because of course he does.
They all end up falling asleep in the living room together because they stayed up too late playing games :]
It must be my lucky day. I just found S2 of Being Human (Aidan Turner) a Viggo Mortensen movie AND a Lord Of The Rings Trival Pursuit in a second hand shop.
(These can now join my collection of Orlando Bloom movies)
Playing with my mother.
MOM: *reading in a tone like Unsolved Mysteries* What character died in Rocky's arms in Rocky 4 after being defeated by Drago?
ME: *plays Unsolved Mysteries theme song on phone* Apollo Creed.
MOM: WHAT?! *looks at back of card* Well now that's ruined for me! Isn't there some sort of spoil warning!
ME: That came out like... 40 years ago!
MOM: Well I've been busy! It was on my list!
