Notable Quotables

Notable Quotables

Notable Quotables is a board game based on the idea of identifying quotations by famous people, created by George Chanos in 1990.[1][2]

Inspired by, and similar to, Trivial Pursuit, the goal of the game is to acquire a token in each category of questions. Questions are asked in a multiple-choice format, with the option for the player to either determine who said a particular quote or fill in the missing word in the quote.

The game was produced by GameMakers Ltd., a company started by Chanos for the purpose of marketing the game.
