Trivial Pursuit Master Game - Genus Edition

This is a vintage 'Trivial Pursuit Master Game - Genus Edition' board game box, likely dating from the early to mid-1980s. The box is square in shape and constructed from heavy-gauge cardboard, covered in a deep navy blue textured paper that mimics the appearance of a bound book. The top lid features a distinctive yellow-gold cursive logo for 'Trivial Pursuit' centered within decorative flourishes and a circular wheel icon. Below this, the words 'MASTER GAME - GENUS EDITION' are printed in a clean, serif font. A thin gold-toned border frame runs along the perimeter of the lid. Regarding physical condition, the box shows significant signs of age and shelf wear typical of vintage board games. There is visible 'scuffing' and white flecking across the top surface where the navy blue finish has begun to rub off. The edges and corners exhibit 'whitening' and minor crushing, indicating frequent handling or tight storage. A notable vertical crease or light scratch is visible near the bottom center, extending toward the title text. No specific maker's marks like Selchow & Righter or Horn Abbot are immediately visible on this top view, but the design is iconic to the original 1981-1984 releases. The craftsmanship is high-quality for a mass-produced game of its era, intended to look sophisticated on a bookshelf.
