Pointless Travel Game Review
The travel game has 120 questions that fit inside a special holder. The travel game is small and convenient to take on holiday but would recommend just for occasional use, due to limited number of questions.Each question has 2 lots (for 2 passes) of 7 selections to choice from (each pass has at least one pointless answer and at least one incorrect answer). The card holder shows the question and the possible answers. The holder conceals the points until you remove the card from the holder, so you can pass the holder around to allow everyone to make their selection.Played the game Boxing Day with my family; all thoroughly enjoyed it.As others have already stated, this game would be really brilliant if it came on a DVD.

Great game!!
This was the holiday game my family chose to take with them. Now the holiday game can always make or break the holiday.This one certainly made the holiday. It is a very good size for carrying, not too heavy at all. There is a very good variety of questions and it never seemed to be too hard. Bare in mind all my siblings are over 20 years old, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend to young families.If you love the show... This game is definitely for you!

Stick with the TV show!
My wife and I love Pointless but we played this once and got bored very quickly. The product doesn't replicate the show and is pretty rubbish. You have to choose one of the answers on the card, so it's basically guessing which is the pointless answer, rather than thinking of your own answers and choosing the one you think is most obscure.The implementation is terrible, too - you have to hold the cards in a box and avoid seeing the other questions & answers, and the cards aren't even manufactured so they fit properly.

A good way to waste an afternoon or a train journey
My friend and I bought this game to revise for our appearance on pointless, or at least to get an idea of what kind of questions would be asked. It didn't help us much in the end but it at least it was a good way to waste an afternoon asking each other daft questions. It does get a little tedious after a while but if you enjoy the TV show and want a quick game to play and don't want to spend the money on the full board game this is a perfect choice. There are two 'boards' for each question, and a different question on each side of the card. Compact and easily portable. Go on, you know you want to buy it!

fun and easy
This is a nice game to take on holiday but is best when you have a few of you playing. Ok but maybe would like the actual board game better. Fine for what it is though and it gave us some laughs.

Badly Thought Out Trivia Game Format
The game is too simple and has only one type of question. The question gives you a list of answers to choose from with at least one guaranteed pointless answer and incorrect answer. This often results in most questions coming down to the winner being whoever can randomly guess the pointless answer. Only played once and then put away in favour of more enjoyable trivia games.However, I also own the proper board game version and although made by the same company it surpasses the quality of this product by miles so if you're looking for a Pointless fix get that instead.

We've played Pointless the board game a lot in recent ...
We've played Pointless the board game a lot in recent months as a family but it belongs to my sister. When I saw this travel version I couldn't resist, because it means now I have a little mini version of my own. I can't wait to play this with friends!
