The game board in this edition has also been improved. However, if you only play casually, then you will most likely have enough to last you quite a while. While there appear to be about 200 or so cards, if you play Wits & Wagers a lot, you will probably end up buying expansion packs from Northstar Games to get more questions. The only downside in this edition is that the questions per card dropped from 7 to 2. In It’s Vegas, Baby!, most of the new questions are from 2018, so figuring out a more relevant answer is a lot easier on the players. Players would have to think back 15 years to get an answer (if we are talking sales in 2018, the answer would be a big fat zero). Yet in 2019, this question isn’t all that relevant anymore. For example, one question is “How many iPods did Apple sell during the last 3 months of 2004?” Back in 2005, this was a solid question (the answer being 4 million). I mean, while the answers are still technically correct, trying to gronk them takes more than a bit of mental gymnastics. I still have the original 2005 edition of Wits & Wagers and have long thought it needed a refresh. Players will make guesses and then bet on what they think the right answer is. After 7 rounds, the game ends and the player with the most money wins. Players then collect their chips and answer card back and another question is read. Everyone who bet on the correct answer gets a payout depending on how far from the median the answer was (fringe answers get large payouts). The correct answer is then revealed and the player who was closest without going over gets a bonus payout. Players then can use their two betting tokens (and in later rounds, cash on hand) to bet on the answer (or a range of answers) that they think is the closest without going over. The player answers are then revealed and placed on the betting grid from smallest to largest.

An example question would be “How many black keys are on a standard 88-key piano?” The key is that every question has a numerical answer, so even if you have no idea, you can still make a guess. Each round, someone reads a question aloud and everyone writes down what they think the answer is.

Wits & Wagers is played over 7 rounds with the goal to be the player with the most money at the end. In 2005, North Star Games brought us Wits & Wagers, a trivia game that everyone can play!įast forward 14 years and Wits & Wagers has a new edition, Wits & Wagers: It’s Vegas, Baby! Promising some quality of life upgrades and refreshed questions, let’s see if this one can still deliver after all these years. If you are terrible at remembering obscure answers to things, then chances are you never want to play a trivia game. It seems like there are always 1 or 2 people that know everything, and a couple of people that just suck at trivia. Trivia games can always be hit or miss with a group.
