Isaac Asimov's Super Quiz (1982)

Trivia game with various categories in small boxes. Each player on their turn selects a Question Category, and also selects the difficulty level of the Question they wish to answer: Freshman- 1 point, Graduate- 2 points, or Ph.D- 3 points. Players receive one question only on their turn.

Categories are Geography, History, Movies, Science, Sports & Games, and Words. Each player must get at least 3, but no more than 10 points in each of the 6 categories. First player to reach 35 points wins.

According to the rules sheet, Dr. Asimov himself edited and approved the questions included in each of the three Super Quiz games. (And, of course, loaned his name and prestige to the game, as he did so many other things during his life to help promote them). Even today, many North American newspapers (under license from the King Features newspaper chain) still carry a daily Isaac Asimov's Super Quiz trivia feature.
