Heres a take anywhere version of the popular board game, based on the hit BBC One quiz show hosted by Alexander Armstrong.
The point of Pointless is to guess the most obscure answer to a general knowledge question. A bit like Family Fortunes but you need to guess the least number of popular answers as surveyed by 100 people. You'll be fighting your natural instincts as you try to score the least number of points by guessing the least popular answers to general knowledge questions with the ultimate aim of finding the perfect answer - a Pointless answer! To win, have the lowest score after six rounds.
For instance, if the question is "name a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio"; Titanic is not a good answer as 88 people in the survey gave this. However give The Man in the Iron Mask as an answer and you score 6 points. Any correct answers the survey didn't think of are Pointless answers and therefore awarded a most desirable zero points. So who in your family will carry off the Pointless trophy? Suitable for 2 to 4 players or teams. For ages 10 and up.
Great way to get the old grey matter working quickly after that long Sunday lunch. Makes a brilliant alternative to the traditional charades at family gatherings too.
