THE CUPCAKE IS A LIE: Someone has spent way too much time depicting board and video games in cupcake form.

ETA: OK, there are actually 100, but they're not as much fun to do as they are on Sporcle. (I had a perfect score on Sporcle, FWIW).

    My partner and I did it together and scored in the 98th percentile. We gave up with 2.27 to go because we didn't know Othello/Reversi.

    Fun!

    I think I'm disturbed that I got 35/36 - the only I didn't know was Pitfall.

    34/36, but if I'd had my kids doing it with me I think we'd have gotten one and maybe both of the ones I just plain didn't know.

  5. The original version I saw had 100 cupcakes, so it's even more insane than you imagined.

    I got 35 of them, and the w knew the other one, so... woot.

    I missed a couple of the cupcakes, but will take the opportunity to share a photo of the awesome Scrabble-themed cake that my girlfriend made me for my birthday last year:

    I only got 31/36, and some of the ones I missed were stupid (I saw the Chutes & Ladders as a railroad bridge crossing a river).  But I can offer you a picture of The Cupcakes of Catan:

    (I had nothing to do with that besides finding the photo)

    And yes, got both when we re-tried as a family version (wife got one, older kid got the other).

    35/36 because I didn't know Centipede. And I knew I didn't know it, so I quit with 7:04 left.

    We got 34.  I knew Apples for Apples but could not think of the name to save my life.  Scattergories was the other nemesis.
