Wits and Wagers
About
A Triva game for everyone. Each answer is in the form of a number. After everyone writes down a guess all of the answers are placed on the board arranged from lowest to highest. Everyone gets to bet on any answer they like with the bets on answers farther from the average being worth more points.
Thoughts
Tim:
5/5 Excellent
Excellent game that plays very well with larger groups of people. I love the fact that you don't need to know the answer and can vote on anyone's guess if you think theirs is better than yours. I've had this one for quite a few years and played it a number of times. It works great with a diversity of ages and trivia abilities. I would love to say more about this game as it's an excellent party game, but there is not much more to say. The rules are simple, it plays great, and people like it. If I have anything negative to say it would be that it's not as fun with only 4 people, but this is meant to be a party game so what else would you expect?
