Product Description
Return to America's favorite hometown for a heapin' helpin' of heartwarming humor. Do you know how far Raleigh was from Mayberry? How about the name of the town drunk? If you do- or if you want to find out- this is the game for you! Players roll the dice and move their pawns along the colorful game board. Each space is designated with a question category: true/false, multiple choice and specific answers. Answer correctly and get another turn. The first player to reach The End wins! Aint Bee would be so proud. Game contains game board, die, four pawns, and one box of trivia cards (1,000 questions). For 2 to 4 players.
Editorial Review
Take a stroll down Main Street with Opie and Barney in the Andy Griffith Show Trivia Game. It's fairly simple to play: Just roll the die and move your pawn around the spiral. Each space asks you to answer a true-or-false, multiple-choice, or single-answer question related to the show and its characters. Some of the queries are pretty tough, asking for particular names of characters who appeared in only one episode, for example, while others are pretty easy--can you name the town barber? Play takes an hour or two, and even if you're not a fan, you'll soon be nostalgic and checking your TV listings for reruns. --Rob Lightner

 Very fun! June 30, 2008

This is a very fun game to play! It is very hard if you don't watch the show all that often or haven't seen it in a while. But, if you watch the show regularly, you will do well at this game!

This game is really fun and very challenging getting the right answers. I have the whole AG DVD collection and watch them repeatedly and still was challenged on the questions. It was a lot of fun.
 Not as much fun as checkers, but it'll do February 18, 2002

In the right company - a chapter of "The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club," for instance, or any group of Mayberry-minded cronies - this game can be a lot of fun. Beware, though, if your opponents are only casual watchers: They'll be bored and you'll win handily, but without satisfaction, every time. The main problem with this game is its lack of drama. Play consists of rolling a single die and answering trivia questions (true/false, specific answer, multiple choice) to advance your token around the board. That's it: There are none of the unexpected detours, setbacks or rewards that distinguish the best board games. Had the board included Mayberry landmarks (The Courthouse, Floyd's Barber Shop, Wally's Service Station, The Diner, Myers Lake, etc.) and corresponding activities, play would be enlivened tremendously. The game would also be more enjoyable if it included questions about the program's stars, guest stars and other "reality" aspects, instead of dealing solely with character and Mayberry-oriented trivia. Despite its shortcomings, I recommend this game to those TAGS fans who have to have absolutely everything associated with the show, and to anyone lucky enough to have enough Andy-philes in their orbit to organize a fair game. This is a handsome product (despite the rather crude and unflattering portrait of Andy and Opie on the box and on the board itself) and is sure to become a coveted collector's item in the future. It would make an excellent gift for any TAGS fan in your life. NOTE: "Educational value" really does not apply to this game,
unless you are seeking to expand your knowledge of TAGS!
Fun for Andy Griffith Fans January 7, 2010
Rosalie Brown (Sacramento, CA, US)
The game was fun for those of us who were Andy Griffith fans. Team play recommended for a group if a player or players have had limited viewing of the shows. Some answers on the cards are too limited and may need an "expert" in the player group to clarify and justify what otherwise could be considered a player's wrong answer (e.g., brief answer on the card contains only a few words of what the full response from the show really was).
 Not much fun June 19, 2009
J. G. (VIrginia)
First off, we're big fans of Andy and the gang.
Just not fans of this "game".
Granted, they have tons of trivia questions, some of which you'll never guess even being a fan of the show.
But they could have done a lot more with this product. It consist of bascially trivia cards, dice, tokens and a very bland board.
There is no game fun to this product. No "Go back 10 spaces", "Go ahead 10 spaces" "Lose a turn" or anything
They could have at least made the board to look like Mayberry, and have the Courthouse with corresponding questions, Floyds Barber shop with questions, Lake Myers etc
Very disappointing
