People who play "Jeopardy" fall into two catagories... Those who play to prove how smart they are. And, those who play and fail to show how smart they are. Pressman, in re-releasing this game yet again, has done a good job of putting together a decent home version of the classic. The board is well done and the questions give a good range of general knowledge so everyone can play without feeling too intimidated.
Jeopardy! is a true part of Americana and has been for nearly 25 years.This game, with material previously used in season 17 (2000-2001), will put your smarts to the ultimate test with categories such as Citizenship Test and Crossword Clues 2nd Letter "U", and Birth of a President to Footnotes to History, it's almost the same game that's played in the studio!
This game is sure to make you say:"Let's make it a True Daily Double!" for years to come!

This game is fun, however there are two downsides.
1the "clickers" are nothing more then a super version of a snapple cap. meaning it makes the same noise if you press the popped top of a snapple can. which makes it virtually impossible to tell who "buzzed" first.
2There is a lot of set-up before the game and in between rounds. This game is not for the lazy or impatient of people. You have to set up each money value every time. and as a side note, there is no distinct "final Jeopardy".
the good side to this product is the fact that the questions are fun and challenging, if played in a group it can actually be very entertaining.The game board is too small and the translucent blue plastic is too dark to read through.
Whoever designed this really didn't check out the final product.The answers on the game board are teeny tiny print that would be readable except for two obstacles:
1The blue plastic screen that covers them is too dark so three people must struggle to read miniature black letters on a dark blue background.
2The rounded tops of the dollar amount slides cover up the bottom line of type on longer answers.
For a game aimed at smart people, this is a stupidly designed product.
