This is similar to a standard roll-and-move trivia game, the only
twist being that all the questions are like you might find on an
intelligence test. The questions are categorized into
vocabulary, memory, logic, etc.
Contrary to popular opinion, Mensans don't particularly enjoy taking
intelligence tests, at least not more so than the general population.
This game is clearly targeted at those who enjoy taking intelligence
tests (I do, but I'm kinda weird that way) and while there is a bit
more variety in the board design and movement, it doesn't really add
much to the experience -- you'd probably have slightly more fun
just using a Trivial Pursuit board. Also, like many intelligence
tests, the intelligence part often comes in not necessarily finding
the "right" answer but just finding the answer on the back of the card,
which is occasionally frustrating.
