"Rules & Stuff"
From the zine:
Well, there aren't really any rules per se. This started out as a cure for boredom at a very slow yard sale and sort of took off from there. We'd originally intended to print the questions on cards with answers on the back, a la that other famous trivia game, but the logistics and expense of printing and cutting all those little cards was a bit overwhelming, so we compromised. The sections are color coded to match that Other Famous Trivia Game's categories, and you can simply substitute these questions for theirs if you wish. The answers are directly opposite the corresponding questions on the back of the page: you may want to cover the page below that with a piece of paper to avoid seeing subsequent answers, or appoint a non-competing friend to read all the questions and answers. Freestyle trivia (best when played in convention hotel corridors at 3 a.m.) may of course assign its own rules: we recommend 10 points per question, and s/he with the most points when everyone else has dozed off wins. Quotations in the game are not necessarily word-perfect (though we did our best), but allowances should in any event be made for minor discrepancies in the answers given by individual players. (In other words, don't be too picky; this is for fun, remember?) The categories are delineated below. Our thanks to Micky DuPree, who provided multiple pages of corrections and verbatim quotations for this second edition, not to mention setting straight a number of errors committed in the B7 PROGRAMME GUIDE by the infamous Tony Attwood. Hope you all enjoy the game.

Fan Comments
In 1989, fans played this game at RevelCon. The program book had this to say:
For those of you who haven't played this, Trivial Pursuit-Ship is Jean Graham's Blake's 7 version of the popular board game. It's played in the same manner, except the questions are all B7-related. In an effort to speed up play, we're trying to recruit volunteers for questioners rather than have the questions passed from player to player.
