Invent the board game Trivial Pursuit?
Do you have any background info on David Wall or the invention of Trivial Pursuit?
David Wall, of Cape Breton, claims that his idea was stolen after his conversation with a man who picked him up while hitchhiking.
The Trivial Pursuit home page claims that the origin of the game as "The origins of the TRIVIAL PURSUIT® game can be traced back to a blustery day in Montreal, December 15, 1979, when two friends, Scott Abbott, sports editor with the Canadian Press and Chris Haney, photo editor for the Montreal Gazette engaged in a friendly argument over who was the better game player"
What are your thoughts on this? Did Wall actually have his idea stolen?
