Seeing the fan-made TPIR Expansion got me thinking about the idea of DIY game show home gaming, as did a lucky find I had today.
I went into Five Below and saw they had Trivial Pursuit's "Bet You Know It" edition from a couple years back for $5. Looking it over, I had a light bulb go off, and bought two sets. That gives me 300 single-category, multiple-question cards, display holders for 8 cards (or, for my needs, 6) at a time, scoring chips, and two dice marked 1-5, with a special character instead of the "6" on each.
So, for $10, plus the Quizzard I have at home, I now have The Big Showdown.
Of course, this is far from the first time I've had an idea like this; for instance, my TPIR home game consists of the Endless Games edition referenced above, the majority of two 1986 MB sets, and that electronic doohickey, which was worth the $8 clearance price because, hey, it's a wheel and a Plinko board, and I never, ever have to put in the batteries or use these cards.
As I'm sure a bunch of us who have bought home games have thought, "Oh, this would be even better if it just had x", and many of us have the level of interest and creativity to actually put such things together, I thought it would be interesting to know what you've done with your home games, or if you've made any of your own from scratch.
