Whether you are looking for a breezy bed time book or a serious trivia read, Bar Games entertains the reader with its funny graphics, trivia lists and a question on every page. I learned more about the offensive lineman of politics, the Vice Presidents of the United States, from Bar Games than I did in twelve years of school. For the serious NTN trivia player, studying the section about British royalty in BAR GAMES will enable you to answer these frequently asked questions quickly.

I prefer conversation to games while eating and I don't frequent bars but nevertheless I have a great time with this book. My grandsons love it. We play the games at home and get inspired to make up some of our own. It's simple to correct the few errors. No bother there. The simple questions get us fired up to do further research which is a great learning tool.I find it the necessary light entertainment after a day of heavy policy issues. In fact the kids feel the same. It is much more fun than homework and something adults and children can play together.Enjoy it. I do.

Where do I begin?The typeface is enormous, meaning there are very few words per page -- thus less content.Many of the pages have whacky clipart taking up a good 50% -- again less content.You then get to the content and find errors galore. Reading this book could actually harm your scores!The final mark against is in the writing style. It's very chummy and bad-jokey -- I guess that combined with the whacky typeface it's supposed to be friendly rather than dorky. Dear Author and Editors: We play bar trivia. We sit and shout out flavours of quarks, and know what a Wagner Tuba is. We don't want to be patronized."Patronized" means "talking down to someone". ;)If you're really interested in boning up on some trivia, figure out what your weaknesses are and pick up some books. I was very weak in history, so I bought the excellent Time-Life Almanac of History. One book didn't make me a history whiz, but it helped me sort out all those ancient civilizations and places. If you just want general knowledge stuff, the Uncle John's Bathroom Readers are EXCELLENT troves of trivia.

I started playing NTN a year ago at a new Damon's restaurant here. It is really a lot of fun, and educational as well.A friend gave me this book, BAR GAMES, as a holiday gift.What a great read. History, Presidents, painters, etc.I got a few more correct answers that I usually do , thanks to the book.My teenage daughter is starting to read it, as well.She will be an expert on painters before you know it.

Yes, this book is humorous, but unintentionally so. For the most part, this book is supposed to give you lists of factoids which are supposed to help you play NTN trivia games. Unfortunately, there are so many errors in the book that it is useless.Just for a few examples, in one of the first sections that is supposed to give you important historical dates, the very first date given tells you that dinosaurs died out in 1,000,000 B.C.. This is not a confidence-builder. You have to wonder about people who apparently get their paleontology from Raquel Welch movies.Another howler is Napoleon invading and being defeated in Russia in 1807. Will someone tell Tchaikovsky to please correct the name of his overture?When you see a page with perhaps six historical events listed (this book is pretty light on content, with lots of white space), and you find two or three date errors, this is just not acceptable in a book whose main purpose is to provide CORRECT data to be memorized.If you wish to play trivia games better, buy a REAL reference book, not this.
