Wits & Wagers Board Game, by North Star Games

This was a really fun game but certainly not what we expected! The trivia questions are all answered in numbers, which is not made clear by the advertising or the box. Soooo.... for our history trivia buff, this was a huge disappointment at first. He thought he was going to womp us but was sorely mistaken! Nevertheless, he quickly got into the swing of estimating and wagering. Most of the questions are fairly simple to understand and many result in some pretty hysterical estimates! That's the real fun of the game so we plan to buy the more advanced versions. If you appreciate ridiculousness, you wll love the challenges. This is a great game for camp or other family and friend get-togethers as anyone over age six can make a guess just as easily as any sixty-year-old! You will not be disappointed with this great game. Lots of laughs!

This game was fairly easy to learn to play and a lot of fun....perhaps "addictive" is a better word. Even though some of the questions ask for answers few people might know, the fun is in making guesses as to which answer might be closest to the correct answer. All answers are expressed as numerical values. Once all answers are displayed, each player places chips on the answer he/she feels is correct or closest to being correct. There are 7 rounds to each game. We played many games in an afternoon! We didn't use the timer that came with the game because we all played quickly. It's fun for adults and good for kids who have a number sense. We even learned some things while playing.
