About this game
Gambit 7 lets you win a trivia game without knowing a single answer. Everyone writes down a guess to a numerical question, something like how many bones are in a giraffe's neck, and then the real game starts: you bet chips on whichever answer, yours or someone else's, you think is closest to correct. Over seven rounds, sharp guessers and sharp bettors both rack up points, so a confident bluff can score just as well as actual knowledge. It scales wildly, from a small family table to a party crowd split into teams, and stays quick enough that nobody sits out for long.
