	Description Edit \| History

Gambit 7 has been separated from Wits & Wagers based on game rule differences and at the request of the designer and publisher.

Trivia for People Who Don't Know Stuff!
Not a trivia buff? It doesn’t matter! Each player writes a guess to a question such as “In what year did the bikini swimsuit makes its first appearance?” or “How many feet wide is an NFL football field?” and places it face-up on the betting mat. Think you know the answer? Bet on your guess. Think you know who the experts are? Bet on their guess. The closest answer pays out according to the odds on the betting mat. Strike it big and you’ll be cheering like you just hit the jackpot!

Wits & Wagers is a trivia game that lets you bet on anyone’s answer. So you can win by making educated guesses, by playing the odds, or by knowing the interests of your friends. It can be taught in 2 minutes, played in 25 minutes, and accommodates up to 20 people in teams.

Wits & Wagers Game Show events are hosted by North Star Games at Origins and GenCon. These team events have gotten great buzz from Alan Moon, Tom Vasel, and hundreds of others.

Wits and Wagers Lesson Plans

In this file you will find lesson plans and materials for using Wits and Wagers in the classroom. There is a lesson on comparing and contrasting Canada and the United States. The second lesson is a set of two lessons for using the estimation of wits and wagers to get students to understand how to use formulas for circumference and area. These lessons were written for fifth graders but could be modified for use with older or younger students.

Christmas Trivia for Wits and Wagers

6 print and fold cards containing a total of 30 Christmas-themed questions for a few rounds of Holiday W&W action. James Hemsley (Iceberg1) created the content, I just formatted it, and included instructions so you could potentially create the cards without seeing the answers, and thereby disqualifying yourself from play.
