A trivia game? In your Top One Hundred? Why, yes... cuz this is not the typical trivia game. It's closer to a rotating game show, rife with puns & semi-cryptic clues. Oodles actually rewards Jeopardy-ish "listen CAREFULLY to the question - the clue to the answer is hidden in there!" behavior, which I like. There's no board or dice, so it works great with people sitting around a living room (always a plus with party-type games).
It doesn't hurt that I rock at Oodles. In fact, taking a cue from Frank Branham, I don't play it nearly as much anymore, instead using the equipment to "host" the game for other players.
