Here's what went down last night.
Greg, my sister, my brother in law and I played each person for him/herself. I was the blue piece (I have only been another color besides blue twice since 1985) and I don't remember what colors the others were. Basically, I dominated the majority of the game (not to brag). I flew around the board and picked up all 6 wedges relatively quickly. Meyer was behind me by 2 or 3 most of the game with Yehudit and Greg going back and forth between 3rd and 4th place.
I am not sure what is REALLY supposed to happen when you get all six wedges but in my family, here is what we do. You try to get back to the center of the board and once you do, you are asked all the questions on the next card and you must get 4/6 to win the game. Anyway, It took me a while to get to the center, I did a few times and didn't get 4/6 questions correct. While this happened, Meyer rallied and got the rest of his wedges (THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS). By this time, I was exausted and losing my edge and answering questions without really thinking. He then got to the middle and he won.
I am a gracious loser. Everyone played a really good game and most people were not obnoxious while playing (ahem, you know who you are). Most important, we had a great time and once again Meyer and I showed that we are far superior in trivial knowledge. I will admit if there was a Geek Edition of TP, Greg would be the winner hands down.

We played with some friends until late one night just so someone would win! The excitment of trying to get to the pie questions (which were played from the DVD) made the game extra exciting!
