The [[Soviet Union]] in 1989 bought the rights to produce its own version of the board game, and also started an official championship for family teams, finals of which were broadcast on [[Soviet Central Television]] as the game show ''Lucky Case'' (russian: Счастливый случай). After the agreement ended in 1991, the show changed their rules, dropping ''Trivial Pursuit'' elements, and continued broadcasting until 2000.
