pastimes

Searching for parlour games, I found these from Family Pastimes:
Untrivia

...the questions are practical, not trivial.
Over 10,000 copies sold in Sweden!

The untrivia link's dead for me, B. Looks intriguing.

an un link.

Thanks, Dick. Should work now.

I thought it sounded like a rather confronting concept to some Trivia-heads I know. ;)
And then indeed you wonder - what would un trivia be?

As opposed to tickling Peter?

Reminds me a bit of Mad Lib and some boardgame I can't otherwise recall where you play cards if you had 'em to reverse another player's move, cause them to miss a turn or otherwise generally stuff around with them if the dice were getting them ahead on the board.

1000 Blank White Cards sounds fun. Like a cross between Consequences and In The Manner Of The Word.

Yes I think 1000 blank white cards sounds great.

1000 blank white dice OTOH might run mad.
