Wits & Wagers: A Great "Trivia" Game

Wits & WagersAre you looking for a great game to play with your family and friends this holiday season? I recommend that you try Wits & Wagers, a trivia game that's not really a trivia game.

The questions can all be answered with a number, and everyone gets a chance to answer every time. The answers are then sorted on a casino-style board and everyone bets on which answer they think is correct, with the most extreme answers having the highest potential return (but, often, also the most risk). In other words, you don't need to know the answers to win. Wits & Wagers has never failed to produce a good time for my friends and me.

If your group includes younger children (ages 8 to 12), Wits & Wagers Family is a great alternative with simplified scoring and a family-friendly set of questions.
