Read the full game description
Wits & Wagers Party combines trivia with a betting game that never requires an exact answer. A reader asks a numerical question, each team writes a guess, and the answers are arranged from lowest to highest beside the fixed “1” board. Teams then place two betting tokens on the answers they believe are closest without going over. Correct bets earn poker chips, and the richest team after seven questions wins. Because teams can back anyone's answer, estimating the crowd is often more important than knowing the fact. The Party edition is designed for three to six teams of up to three people, adds simpler payouts and high-energy group play, and finishes in about twenty-five minutes.
