About the game

What is Wits & Wagers Party?

Wits & Wagers Party, a simplified version of the most award-winning party game in history, comes with 250 of the best questions from the out-of-print Wits & Wagers: Expansion Pack 1. These questions were chosen because they are lighter and more fun than the questions from the original Wits & Wagers, making this the best edition to play with your non-gamer friends and family. The poker chips in this edition are twice as heavy and thick as those from the original W&W. How to Play 1) Someone reads a question. 2) Everyone writes down a guess. 3) The guesses are placed face up on the table and ordered smallest to largest. 4) Players place their Betting Tokens on the guess they think is closest to the right answer. Players score one poker chip for a correct bet or for having the closest guess. On the seventh and final question, players can bet their poker chips. The player with the most poker chips after this question wins.
