Wits & Wagers

Wits & Wagers is a game that I recently picked up, and it's quickly become a favorite in my group. It's a trivia game with a twist, allowing you to bet on anyone's answer, even if you don't know the answer yourself. The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained in a few minutes. It's perfect for a large group of people, as it accommodates up to 20 players in teams. Each round involves a trivia question with a numerical answer, and players have 30 seconds to write down their guess. Then, you bet on the answers you think are closest, with the highest payouts for the most unexpected answers. The betting element adds a whole new level of excitement to the game, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a bit of strategy and risk-taking.

I was initially worried that the game might be dominated by trivia buffs, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's actually very balanced. Even those who aren't trivia experts can win by playing the odds and betting on the answers of those who seem to know more. One of the best parts about this game is that you can create your own questions, which adds a personal touch and allows you to tailor the game to your group's interests. The game is also very adaptable, and you can easily alter the rules to suit your play style, such as eliminating the timer or forcing everyone to bet all their chips on every question.

While I really enjoyed the game, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The instructions were a little difficult to follow, but I was able to clear up any confusion by watching a quick review on YouTube. And if a lot of people win one round, the paying out of tokens can slow down the flow of the game a little. Overall, Wits & Wagers is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and engaging game to play with friends and family. It's easy to learn, quick to play, and offers a great balance of knowledge and luck.
