Anybody watch Pointless? (UK quiz show)
For those unfamiliar, the purpose of the game is to name correct answers in a given category, and you want obscure answers that the fewest people surveyed could name. The best answer then is one nobody named, and such answers are called pointless.
The final round the other day had the theme of board games, and the team was tasked with naming a pointless answer, in 3 tries, from either
A. Spiel Des Jahres winners
B. Risk territories
Their 3 answers were all for the former category.
Spoilers for the results:
>!They said Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, and Terraforming Mars. The latter of course didn't win, but the other two....were POINTLESS? Seriously? So the whole category probably was pointless then.!<
So how would you do? What would your 3 guesses be?
Oh, here's a summary of pointless answers.
>! Spiel des Jahres: absolutely everything except for Focus(?!?!) I'm going to type some random text here so the size of the block is less of a spoiler. I know it's a fairly niche hobby but wow, I can't believe even Catan was pointless (but then randomly one person know about Focus lol)!<
>! Risk: everything except for: Russia (wait, is that even a territory?), Alaska, China, Great Britain, Greenland, Japan, Iceland, Indonesia, Kamchatka, Middle East, Northern Europe, and Western Europe !<
