Common Knowledge is a Trivial Pursuit-like game, involving the rolling of dice and the answering of questions (categories: Academy, Amusement, Games, General, Dictionary, Spelling, True/False). A correctly answered question earns players cash. Players can also choose to make each question multiple choice, lessening the monetary reward for a correct answer. The cash is used to buy sets of books (printed on cards) upon landing on certain spots on the board which, when put together, form a complete set of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.Questions tend to be more difficult than your run-of-the-mill trivia game. For example: L.Dombrowski of East Germany won the 1980 Olympic Long Jump with 8.54 metres. How many metres did Ya Uudmae of the U.S.S.R. jump to win the triple jump (within 2 metres)? - BoardGameGeek
