- Thunderbird 2 – Knight X 2
- Thunderbird 1 – Castle
- The Thunderbirds – Pawns
The Thunderbirds Classic 50th Anniversary Trivia Game comes with 1,000 questions based upon the episodes from the iconic TV show. There will be 400 question cards, including 100 picture cards. The set also includes multiple choice answers, a circular playing board and collecting bases (scoring discs), 36 x scoring pieces and 6 playing pawns.
