El Erudito

About this board game

El Erudito is a trivia game for 2–4 players that combines general knowledge, wit, and gambling in a 60-minute experience. Released in 2008, it puts the emphasis on confidence as well as what you know.

The central rule is simple: you must bet that you will answer correctly in order to win. This makes each trivia question more than a test of knowledge, because players must also decide when they are willing to back their answer.

General knowledge provides the foundation of El Erudito, while wit adds another important element to the experience. The game brings these qualities together with betting, creating a trivia format in which believing in your answer is part of the challenge.
