The Verdict
based on 8 reviews
“So, a great trivia game, the best in my opinion, with the way that it balances reading the table with the knowledge you bring to the game. Fantastic game. That is my number 64, Wits and Wagers.”
“I think Wits and Wagers is a good party game, it's one of my favorite games, it's an excellent party game, but as a game show I think it's the best party game. Absolutely brilliant, totally fun.”(6:43)
“It is in my top 5 party games right now, and is probably my favorite trivia game of all time (which doesn't say much). If you're burned out on trivia games, but your friends really enjoy them, you definitely need to invest in a copy of Wits and Wagers!”
“Overall witson Wagers outstanding party game if you're in the market for a new party game be sure to check this one out it has withstood the test of time even though it is let's see now almost 10 years old it is still a absolutely fantastic party game”(7:41)
“This game we recommend for anybody who wants a light party game. This is one of the best ones on the market. If you're looking for something that we don't have to know the right answer but it has a trivia...”(5:29)
“This game is fun. I played it with a group of regular gamers who love Trivial Pursuit. In that game, you either know the answer, or don't. There is little room for guessing. But Wits & Wagers allows you to guess, then reassess when everyone else's answers are on the board.”
“There are plenty of quiz games around, but this is still one of the best. The fact you can play from 5-6 players up to a room full split into teams is really fun.”
“It's a pretty good party game: easy to teach, fast-paced, and appeals to mostly everyone at a party, even the gamblers. The rules are well written with examples and charts. The production quality is all right.”(2:44)
