Wits & Wagers

About this board game

Wits & Wagers is a trivia and betting game for 3–7 players, with a 25-minute play time. It combines educated guesses, strategic wagers, and knowledge of your friends in a fast, accessible contest.

Each round presents a question with a numerical answer, such as the year the bikini swimsuit first appeared or the width of an NFL football field. Every player writes down a guess and places it face-up on the betting mat, creating a collection of possible answers.

You do not need to be a trivia expert to compete. Once the guesses are revealed, you can bet on your own answer, support another player’s guess, or use the odds on the betting mat to decide where your wager has the best chance of paying off.

• Make an educated guess, even when you are unsure.
• Bet on the answer you believe is most likely to win.
• Read the odds and identify which guesses offer the best potential payout.
• Use what you know about your friends’ interests and expertise.

The winning guess is the closest answer without going over. Successful bets pay out according to the odds shown on the betting mat, turning an uncertain answer into an exciting chance to strike it big.

Designed to be taught in just two minutes, Wits & Wagers is easy to bring to a mixed group of players. It can accommodate up to 20 people when played in teams, making it a lively choice for larger gatherings as well as regular game nights.
