About this game

Wits & Wagers Family turns trivia into a numbers game, which means even the person who's never won a quiz night has a real shot. Everyone scribbles a guess for questions like 'how many bones in a giraffe's neck,' the guesses get lined up smallest to biggest, and then the real game starts: you bet on which guess you think is closest without going over. You can win having no idea what the answer is, just a sharp read on your family's guesses. The family edition trims the betting into simple meeple movement toward a finish line, so it plays fast and never turns into a math class. Loud, forgiving, genuinely funny with kids in the mix.
