Re: Trivial FIRST ...FIRST is not trivial!

We basically have two ideas going on here.

First we need to figure out if there's even a MARKET for this product. Who would buy it? Teams? Coaches? Teams as gifts for coaches? Individual students who think it's cool?

What would you all say a reasonable price to charge would be? What would you be willing to spend on a game like this?

Second, we're looking at costs for manufacturing - as in an ACTUAL board game - we don't want to make a low quality product, we want something awesome. We already know that costs are probably going to be high, but we're still investigating. That includes contacting game companies to find out if they'll donate materials/products. Also, I'm a design major, so I'm going to be using my network to find out what kind of custom ordering we can do that's not necessarily GAME standard (like printing each question as boxes of 50+ business cards and having students sort them into the final game boxes).

We've also considered doing an "Expansion Pack" for the existing Trivial Pursuit, where people would only have to buy the box of cards and could use any trivial pursuit game board they already have.

So now, with all that additional information, let us know if you're interested, why/why not, and what you would like to see us charge for it. Of course, you can also post suggestion questions!
