Players bet their chips on which guess is the closest, without going over (what one might be tempted to call the “Price is Right” rule). Higher and lower answers have increasingly higher pay offs since they are riskier bets. The median answer has the lowest pay off because it is the most likely answer to be correct. Answers are arranged numerically on the heavy duty vinyl betting mat (probably one of the thickest and most durable ever put into a game). Which makes the whole game far more inviting and replete with jollitude than most exercises in trivia. So, it’s more like a guessing game – anything from educated to wild will do.
What makes this all somewhat kinder and gentler is that the likelihood of anyone knowing the actual answer is very low. e.g.: “How many times to the Beatles sing the word ‘Yeah’ in the song She Loves You?” and “According to July 2004 estimates, how many people live in the U.S.?” Players record their answers on write-on, wipe-off cards, with write-on, wipe-off markers (supplied). The trivia questions are all answered with numbers. Wits & Wagers combines trivia with betting to create a unique party game – one that can involve anywhere from 3 to 21 players in an evening or half-hour worth of relatively painless trivia questions and sometimes near-painful strategizing.
