Wits & Wagers Deluxe Board Game by North Star Games | The Trivia Game Where You Don't Need the Answers to Win | Award-Winning Party Game | 4+ Players | Age 10+

A family favorite!! This is so fun and requires very little knowledge of trivia. It’s all about guessing and playing your odds. Well made pieces. Easy set up and easy to learn. We have even gifted this to nieces and nephews.

My husband hates playing games. We played this when our family was together and he sat out the first round but was chiming in the entire time. Round two- it was game on! Enjoyed by all and very easy to learn

This game was a big hit with family. Great for a mix of ages. You don't have to be good at answering the trivia questions to have fun with this game. The best part of this game is that everyone is actively engaged the whole time, you don't have to wait for your turn.

We had a blast playing this over the recent holiday! Seriously funny and anyone can come around from a low score and win. It is expensive but if you want a fresh game for upper elementary and up I would defiantly give it a go. It is really easy to pick up and takes little explanation. The game is a combo of gambling and random trivia so it is mostly a game of luck with a little betting strategy.

I heard this board game being advertised on a radio talk show and decided to pick one up off of Amazon. When it came in the mail, the Amazon box was undamaged, however, the game box itself had a dent in the top right corner of it. This is a minor complaint as I won't be using the box, however, Wits and Wagers is a very fun game and doesn't take too long to play. It can be played with from 4 to 7 players but I found that it can be played with 3 people just fine. Wits and Wagers is a trivia game, however, you don't have to be a trivia buff to win. The answers are all in number format and the questions are fun and interesting. I found that I only knew a few of the answers to the questions which makes gameplay even more fun. Betting is a great addition to the game and adds an element of risk-taking and gambling to this already fun game. I haven't played the regular version to compare the Deluxe Edition to, however, I can say that the Deluxe Edition does indeed look and feel deluxe. The wager chips are heavy and feel like actual poker chips. In addition to the wager chips, the playing mat is made of felt and the answer cards are made of thick cardboard. The game also comes with 7 black markers to write on the answer cards with. The markers have an eraser built-in to the cap which is very useful in erasing the answer cards, rather than using a paper towel. The betting chips are made of cardboard, and while they are of good quality, Wits and Wagers doesn't come with a lot of them. When playing with less than 4 people, the betting chips can run out pretty quickly; in some games, they run out in less than 30 minutes. However, this is a minor complaint as this game was never meant to be played with less than 4 people. Overall, Wits and Wagers is a very fun game which incorporates elements from gambling and trivia to create a very fun and educational game made with quality materials. Pros: - Fun - Educational - Made with quality materials Cons: - Dented box upon arrival - Too few betting chips If you found this review helpful I would appreciate it if you clicked the "helpful" button below this review.

This is a great game. It has trivia questions that all have numbers as answers. Each player writes down their answers and everyone bets on which answer is closer to the correct answer. Lots of fun for all ages!

This is the newer version of the game. It is lots of fun and can accommodate a big group.

Loved this game. Easy to learn and teach others. Had so much fun playing.

Este juego funciona muy bien con cualquier grupo de amigos, ya sean expertos o primerizos, es cómo jugar Maratón pero apostando sobre las respuestas. El juego consta de: - Un tablero de fieltro con los espacios para apostar sobre el, de buena calidad e imita muy bien el estilo de casino. - Siete pares de fichas con colores para marcar a cada jugador. - Siete Pintarrones personales - Siete plumones - Fichas de 100, 500 y 2500. - Tarjetas en inglés, cada una con 2 preguntas y su respuesta al reverso. - Un reloj de arena, poco necesario. Cómo funciona: Se pone el tablero sobre la mesa, se reparten dos fichas y un pintarrón del mismo color para cada jugador, funciona igual tanto con 4 cómo con 7 jugadores. Se decide cuantas preguntas o cuantas rondas o cuanto tiempo se va a jugar, en realidad puede ser muy flexible esta regla. Lo ideal es 15 preguntas o 3 rondas. Es importante que al menos una persona tenga buen nivel de inglés, ya que las preguntas suelen tener palabras técnicas. Si no es el caso, todos leen una pregunta en su turno. Después cada jugador va a escribir en su pintarrón la respuesta que el considera acertada. Siempre son fechas, porcentajes o cifras. Cuando todos terminaron de escribir, se colocan los pintarrones boca abajo en el tablero, luego se revelan las respuestas y se acomodan de menos a más en los espacios del tablero. Cada espacio tiene un multiplicador de apuesta. Hasta aquí termina la parte de adivinar, sigue la etapa de poner las apuestas. Cada jugador simultáneamente, coloca sus dos fichas de color sobre una o dos respuestas que cree más probables de acertar, puede ser la suya también. Para apostar más fichas, siempre se deben colocar debajo de la ficha color del jugador. Ej. Apuesto en mi primer ficha 400 y en mi segunda 1000. Pongo mi primer ficha de color y debajo 300, luego mi segunda ficha de color y debajo 900 ya que la ficha de color vale 100. Además el pintarrón cuenta como una ficha de 100. Cuando todos apostaron, la persona que leyó la pregunta ahora lee la respuesta. Gana el pintarrón que se aproxime más, SIN PASARSE. Es decir si la respuesta es 1900 y los pintarrones más cercanos son 1901 y 1890, gana 1890 porque no se pasa. Finalmente los jugadores que apostaron al pintarrón ganador reciben su pago 2 a 1, 3 a 1, 4 a 1, 5 a 1 o 6 a 1 según marque el tablero. PROS: Al ser una mezcla de mecánicas muy comunes, este juego es accesible para todo mundo, desde niños a adultos mayores, desde novatos hasta expertos. 100% Familiar. Puede jugarse durante una o dos horas sin problemas. CONTRAS: Está en inglés y por lo tanto utiliza pulgadas, pies y millas. Pero basta con que alguien en su celular tenga listo un conversor de medida y que, al momento de hacer la pregunta diga centímetros en lugar de pulgadas y así. Conclusión personal: Este juego nos ha dado varias horas de diversión, no he tenido un sólo invitado que se confunda con las reglas o que no quiera participar. Lo he jugado con amigos y con familia y siempre tiene el mismo resultado. Lo prefiero para presentar a jugadores nuevos que hay más opciones de las que uno encuentra en un supermercado o una juguetería regular.

Super fun game. Can be played with a big group divided into teams! All ages - we loved this

We had the previous version of Wits & Wagers and were excited to see an updated version come out. This game is inclusive - although 1 part of the game requires specific knowledge to answer the questions, the wagering/betting phase means you can win just by being a shrewd guesser. You can also use this as a tool in an educational setting - just make your own number-based questions and use the game pieces to play. Great for students.

Having loads of fun with this game. Playing it with all of my extended family. The only issue is the chips and the number of questions. I had to replace the chips with real weighted poker chips.

Fun game to play with friends. Test your intellect skills
