Go back to Wits & Wagers Buzz.Wits & Wagers: Brainpower optional, fun optimized! Great party game!
Wits & Wagers delivers what we've all been looking for--a board game that has the simple mindless thrills of gambling coupled with the intellectual challenge of a trivia game! What a concept!On a board reminscent of a poker felt, players lay out answers to trivia questions which they then can bet chips on...or bet against by backing someone else's answer if they think they're wrong. They can even split their chances and bet on both if they're unsure.
With a possible seven teams and endless numbers of players on each team, the odds that the seven answers are numerically close only add to the mental mayhem. Since betting strategies are involved, it's a true blast to play.
It's so easy knucklewalkers can play against Mensas--and the knucklewalkers can win! Yet it's hard enough that the Mensas might win every time--unless the great apes bet better! It could go either way, and that's the beauty of this game. It's the ultimate level playing field for which we've all searched.
There's nothing trivial about this pursuit--it just rocks! Highly recommended party game for party animals and party politicos alike.
