Great Family and Friend Game

- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2015We play lots of board games are our place. It's our favorite activity for family get-togethers and having friends over. A while back we played Wits and Wagers Party Edition at a family gathering. It was fantastic! That is actually what we thought we were ordering when we added this to our cart and checked out. But it was not...this is a different version of the same game.
In the Party Edition players can earn chips as they get answers right, then at the end of the game they can use some, all, or none of them in an effort to win it all. In this edition, however, instead of chips, players have two wooden markers that look like little people, well, sort of. Anyway, the game plays pretty much like other versions of Wits and Wagers, except that in this case after everyone writes their answers and reveals them then then place their markers on answers as they best see fit. If they wrote the winning answer they get a point, if they placed their larger marker on the correct answer they get two points, and if they placed their smaller marker on the correct answer they get one point.
This game is easy to play and easy to explain to newcomers. OK, for example, we had a couple of people over recently as part of a family gathering and they are in their 80s. We wanted to play a game so we pulled this game out. One of them is somewhat notorious for not doing especially well when learning new games, especially games with longer sets of rules (e.g., Settlers of Catan), but he picked right up on this game. We played several rounds, and everyone all enjoyed the experience. We have also played this game with players as young as our little niece who is 8 or 9 and she did just fine.
I have to agree with my wife that while the game is fantastic, it really is designed for players who need a slightly simpler version of this game, such as younger children. And that we miss the chance to bet it all at the end of the game as in the Party Edition. Still, we haven't gotten a copy of the Party Edition yet so we are obviously happy enough with this version.
This is a great addition to any gamers collection for parties and casual get-togethers where you are looking for something fun and straightforward to play.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016When we ask my kids what game we should play my ten year old always wants to play Wits and Wagers. We have played games with grandparents down to kids. It is always a blast and everyone enjoys playing. Whole family (teenagers included) enjoyed this game when we received it over the winter holiday as a gift -- the "questions"/cards involve guessing about any variety of entertaining stats, They really give one pause and require some thought. It's fun to watch people sit and work it out in their heads prior to "betting" on who's the best guesser.
Product Description:
Wits & Wagers Family is the family version of the most award winning party game in history.
This edition is more simple, has less down time, and is more portable than the original Wits & Wagers. It also removes the "gambling" element and has questions that are appropriate for kids and the whole family. Most importantly, Wits & Wagers Family makes use of the beloved Meeple playing piece!

2) Everyone writes down a guess.
3) The guesses are placed face-up on the table and ordered smallest to largest.
4) Place your Meeples on the guess that you think is closest to the right answer.
Feeling confident? Place a Meeple on your guess.
Think your kids knows better? Place your Meeples on their guess.
Have no idea? Bet on any guess and hope you get lucky!
Scoring
You can score up to 4 points on each question:
1 point for correctly placing the Small Meeple
2 points for correctly placing the Large Meeple
1 point if your guess is closest

- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2012I was introduced to Wits and Wagers (the regular one) by my sister and her husband. I thought it was extremely fun and it took a lot of thought both answering and betting. I purchased the game and introduced it to my adult children and grandchildren and we also had fun playing it when we got together. The only drawback was that the grandchildren became frustrated easily and lost interest, even when playing in teams with the adults. So, I purchased the family version hoping that the little ones would be more interested. Because the family was going to Hawaii for a week together, I took the game out of the box and put the essential parts in a ziplock bag so that we could play it in the evenings when we were all together after dinner. The grandchildren were completely absorbed and the adults had a great time! Now, when we get together, the little ones beg to play the game. It has created wonderful bonding times for us as we play in teams (there are a lot of us) and the kids usually team up with a mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc.
This game is worth every cent and the kids will love it. The youngest, a five year old, played it well as long as he was on an adult team and could draw little pictures on the card. Too cute!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for all ages!!
Like that this game keeps everyone interested and it doesn’t go on forever.
- MomsTheWordReviewed in Canada on April 23, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars A great family game!
My 4 and 6 year olds LOVE playing this game and so do the adults! The questions are anyone's guess, and the meeples offer a nice hands-on aspect. It helps kids use reason and logic in a fun way so you can't go wrong with that!
- AnnieReviewed in Canada on December 19, 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great game for kids. Even the adults enjoy playing.
This is a great game because they ask questions that nobody could possibly know the answer to. It is who ever's answer comes the closest, who wins each round. I would definitely recommend it. Good for ages 6+. A good family game.
- KristynReviewed in Canada on May 15, 2020
4.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, find ways to add your own twist to it
My family is big into boardgames. I played this one with friends at Snakes and Lattes and knew it'd be a hit at home. We had a great time better money instead of chips trying to gauge who actually knew the answer and who was flat out guessing. And we were all surprised the odd time when we ourselves guessed right out of left field! It had laughs, a challenge, and we all learned some things thought the game. Was a hit! :)
- Meghan M.Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Family fun
Great game for the entire family regardless of age. You don't need to know any of the answers so it's "fair" for the kids vs adults. Quick play as well, our rounds usually last 15 minutes.
