Gameplay in Brief:

The original Wits & Wagers is one of my favorite games. This edition, which can be played with some children as young as six, features simplified rules and scoring plus 300 family-friendly questions (e.g., "How many different colors of Fruit Loops are there?").

Players each write down a guess, and the answers are sorted. Using two meeples (one worth one point, the other two), players then bet on the answer(s) they believe are right. The player whose answer is closest and everyone who bet on that answer score points. Wits & Wagers Family is perfect for parents and kids to play together.

The Basics:

For 3 to 10 players, ages 8 and up. About 20 to 30 minutes per game.

Wits & Wagers Family was designed by Dominic Crapuchettes.

Wits & Wagers Family was published by North Star Games in 2010.
