Subject: Trivial Pursuit co-creator Chris Haney dies at 59
Written By: Frank on 06/01/10 at 5:38 pm
Chris Haney, co-creator of Trivial Pursuit, has passed away at age 59. He died in the hospital following an extended illness, according to CBC News.
Haney, together with Scott Abbott, created the iconic board game in the 1970s - and it remains popular to this day.
In 1982, they had released the game. In 2008, the duo had sold the rights to the game to toy giant Hasbro for a whopping $80 million.

Thanks to Haney for creating one of a few board games I used to win regularly. My sister would always win at Clue, but I always knocked her out at Trivial Pursuit!

A bunch of friends and I played it often back in University, on fright nights...with lots of beer/alcohol...The last game took the longest to finish. A very fun game to play at any time.

Trivial Pursuit as a drinking game? Sounds like a recipe for alcohol poisoning!

Odds are, now Chris will be the answer to a question in the next edition! I think he'd like that.
Your Pal,

In high school, drinking WAS a game! You had to figure out who would buy it, where it would be bought, and where you were going to drink it, and how you were going to conceal the fact that you'd been drinking...it was alcoholic pursuit!
