"Wits & Wagers is the fast-paced party game that combines the most interesting elements of trivia and gambling. Players can win by making educated guesses, by playing the odds, or by knowing the interests of their friends. The game incorporates interesting betting strategies with trivia. Players must decide how to play the odds, how to play the spreads between answers, when to hedge their bets, and even when to bluff!

In Wits & Wagers, you can be rewarded not just for what you know, but also for making smart bets. Every player answers every question, so it's always your turn. Players get 30 seconds to write an answer on their dry erase board. Since all of the answers are numbers, players can always come up with a good guess. The answers are then placed face-up on the board. Players get another 30 seconds to bet 10 points worth of chips on the answer they think is closest to the correct answer - even if it's not their own. Players who bet on the closest answer are paid out according to the odds on the board."
