Global Pursuit (1987)

About this game

Trivia game about geographic knowledge. Each player starts with some 5 sided map tiles made from several different types of maps and places them in a correct location, followed by answering a trivia question. Points are scored both for playing the tiles and for correctly answering the trivia quesiton. If the question is asked correctly, the player may play again if possible. At the end of the player's turn he draws replacements equal to the number played. Game ends when all tiles are played or no tiles may be played correctly. Winner is the player with the most points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
