Sybarit – Trivia game for an evening in style

Piatnik - July 2009
 

 

A sybarite is a person devoted to pleasure and enjoyment, a bon vivant, a connoisseur, a gourmet – in short: For the sybarite indulging in pleasures lends meaning to life itself. "Sybarit" is also the name of a new trivia game by Piatnik that appeals to exactly those gourmands and good livers. 2400 questions around food, drink, social conventions and good manners cater for cultured entertainment in style.

“Sybarites” were the inhabitants of the ancient Greek colony Sybaris in South Italy. The City of Sybaris was founded by the Greeks at the east coast of Calabria in 720 BC. The land was fertile and trade flourished – so Sybaris soon became an important city and gained in power and size. The Sybarites were known for their magnificence and luxury and established their reputation of living life to its fullest possible enjoyment. War and violence destroyed the City of Sybaris as well as the whole colony in 510 BC and most unfortunately, all their splendid recipes are lost …

Game of noble kind

The trivia game "Sybarit" will inspire all modern Sybarites. Enthusiast of fine food, good wine and social graces will have their share: About 2400 questions around food, drink and social life make Sybarit a perfect after dinner-game. Fine food, a glass of wine, pleasant company and a game of Sybarit are the ingredients of an unforgettable evening. Easy rules allow for an immediate start into the game and playing doesn’t need a board.

Four different categories challenge and encourage your knowledge. Players may choose their level of difficulty, but each question is in a class of its own: Wine connoisseurs will consider the question “What is a fiasco?” to be child’s play, but what might an Ochsenauge be?
