Trivial Pursuit

Trivial Pursuit is a board game that was invented by Canadians Chris Haney and Scott Abbott in December 1979. The game quickly became a massive international success and a defining pop culture artifact of the 1980s. It ushered in a new wave of board game popularity and was called “the biggest phenomenon in game history” by Time Magazine. First introduced in Canada in 1981 and in the United States in 1982, the game had sold more than 20 million copies by 1984. Total sales are estimated to have exceeded $1 billion and more than 100 million copies worldwide. The game is named after a common term for a frivolous activity (like a board game), which also literally describes the nature of the game (players answer trivia questions in pursuit of the most correct answers). Trivial Pursuit has been translated into multiple languages and re-issued in numerous editions.

One of the city’s most dominant amateur teams, the Asahi used skill and tactics to win multiple league titles in Vancouver and along the Northwest Coast.

The Asahi were inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 and the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.
