Steam forced my hand and asked me after weeks of losing. I hate this game.

Don't get me wrong... I love trivia! Trivia at bars, Jack Box games, and all the board games under the sun. Unfortunately, this did not feel like a trivia game, but rather a massive database of random ideas that somehow overlap based on the word clouds associated. Because of this, the difficulty of questions was absurd. After being asked if a hippopotamus was capable of flight, I was then asked to list when Bill Carrigan was manger of the Boston Red Sox and earned them 2 World Series titles. The resulting game play is laughable or simply puzzling in the worst possible way.

While a few of the categories/modes were unique in concept the execution just wasn't there. The game has all of the hallmarks of what should be lead to an incredibly engaging and gut-busting time with friends. While it is cool a question can be formed by scraping a massive database and seeing what Venn diagram overlap exists, it only makes the game feel massive in scope yet ultimately soulless.

I'm glad some reviewers have enjoyed this game for 70+ hours, but I just don't know how. Our favorite parts of playing this game were trash talking Salli back or just laughing at how one player would get incredibly easy questions and the others would get destroyed by something only an encyclopedia or subject matter expert would know.

I can't tell you the last time I refunded a game, but this was the easiest one to refund yet. It makes me feel bad to say that because clearly a lot of work went into this game.

TLDR: I have more fun watching Jeopardy on TV because this game has no soul
