The person next to me’s question: This animal goes bark, and is a good boy. What is it?
My question: What major flaw in the Austrian-Hungarian empire caused stagnation in coal mining between 1877-1879?

1877-1879? Napoleon IV?
You never want to play a trivia game against the person who owns said trivia game.
Unless it's still shrink wrapped.
That goddamned Sports chip is my Trivial Pursuit kryptonite.
Look at this loser who doesn't even know who won the 1972 US Open Championship Game by defeating Roy Klipintopovich.
That's the game with the big stringy paddles, right?
Because they suck at spelling
Maybe they're rubbing it in that spelling isn't so important?
Persuit?
Pronounced like "Jesuit"
I blame the Moops
oh nooooo!
There's a pub near Leighton Buzzard that has stacks of TP cards on the tables.
It's pretty good once everyone is slightly abbreviated and starts quizzing each other
Only slightly abbreviated? So like "evr'yne"? Or "e'ryone"? "Evr1" is just a little too far.
Option G: I wasn't born in 1682 when they apparently published this game like my opponents were
I only own specific niche versions of Trivial Pursuit to give myself the best chance at winning. I got a Star Trek one (it even comes in a little shuttle), the 90s one, and one all about video games. 😃
I suck because I don't know 80s pop culture.
the MOOPS
I was playing an old version of Trivial Pursuit, and it asked “Which of these actors never played Batman?” with the answer of “Ben Affleck”. That’s no longer true, though, so it was a whole thing.
Is persuit something similar to fursuit?
Because they are colorblind
because they lack a fursuit
