Bugger that was my chance at getting 10/10. The game got me. Guess Monopoly is England and backgammon probably Persia or thereabouts which just left TP or settler which I guessed was France, probably mixing it up with Carcassonne. Should have really have known since I play it under the name of Siedler or Seefahrer.

Backgammon is more or less based on the Royal Game of Ur, from Ancient Sumer. I think that is the first game ever where you rolled dice to move your pieces around the board but can capture your opponent’s pieces. Amazing to think that the game was played probably around 4500 years ago.

Trivial Pursuit is from Canada, Monopoly from the U.S. (the place names are all from Atlantic City).

Neither of which is as amazing, as Dimby tells us, as the history of backgammon and the fact it is still played today. Go, by contrast, is only 2500 years old and chess maybe 1500.

The place names vary by country in Monopoly so it’s easy to think it came from the country where you live. The UK place names for example are all London and individual squares are well known as Monopoly properties. I’d never heard of the US board’s Atlantic city square names before JetPunk (though new if varied by region).

I went with Catan because it was the only Euro-style board game on the list (assuming ProZD's Eurogames vs Ameritrash is an accurate source for this)

I correctly guess the game I never heard of. The other 3 were Canada, USA and one from before Germany existed.

Holy. I completely lost my mind on the auf Wiedersen question. My brain decided that sen must mean lady because of the song Donke Schön… but none of the options even remotely meant that. After like a full minute I said it out loud and realized I’ve heard that a hundred times in movies when characters are saying their goodbyes. 😂

The color on the flag is actually gold, not yellow. That cost me some time as I figured it might be a trick answer.

You're right. Because the Nazis used the word "yellow" to insult the flag of the Weimar Republic, calling that colour "yellow" and not gold is now legally an insult to the flag.

Rebranding yellow as gold. Brilliant.

Changed the question.

There is an actual historic reason for the gold, namely the flag being inspired by the uniforms of the early democratic student movement in Germany. The Gold refers to the golden button they used on their red and black uniform.

Now that's a quiz up my lane. I live in Germany and love board games. :D I was hoping to finally break the 9900 barrier, but I can live with 10/10 and tied for my best score with 9897.

Settlers of Catan changed its name to Catan recently to avoid the negative connotations associated with the word "settlers" colonial ties

Blew another chance at an all time high score here, had a feeling it might be Catan but went for backgammon because I've seen it at a lot of hostels in northwest Europe. Ahh well, at least I was fooled along with the majority there. Definitely my fastest ever 9/10, 8,951

At 31, and with the way I live, I probably don't have too many years of that kind of performance left haha, but occasionally the questions line up nicely for me like today (Catan notwithstanding lol). Starting to feel like a score in the 9940s isn't a pipe dream anymore

8/10. Settlers of Catan has such a vibe of nerdy American "donate to our Kickstarter so we can make this wonky game with a 50-page instruction manual" gamer culture that who would have thought it came from Germany? Live and learn.

No way! Settlers is THE famous German-style board game, also known as a Eurogame.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurogame

True they are popular in America now, but this style of game started in Germany.

To be fair whilst Catan is a Eurogame I can understand why people might mistake it for an American one. Most Eurogames refuse to use dice (or any sort of randomness for that matter) whereas rolling dice is a core part of Catan's gameplay loop.

Thanks! I feel like I know all about, for insance, the history of how Atlantic City shaped Monopoly, so how could anyone think that it was based on, say, a city in Germany, but here I've spent all these years completely ignorant of Eurogames in their entirety. :)

learned something new, eurogames.. never heard of it, is it a term used in Europe too? Or just in America/outside of Europe? will have to read up on it.

Ah according to wiki, just called board games in Europe.
