How many questions are in the game? (flip card over)
300
There are 150 separate cards, each of which has two questions/answers. The answers are usually detailed and have citations which many players find very useful, like this explanation you're reading right now.
How many questions have a numerical answer?
300
All answers are a number, which can be a decimal or combination of units, such as pounds and ounces.
How many people (or teams) can play Wits & Wagers: Family?
5
The five different colors are blue, yellow, green, pink, and purple.
In the reviewer's opinion, what is the minimum age to play?
6!
Note: Not all six year olds are the same.
After each players' guesses are revealed, how many meeples does each player put on the card (or cards) she thinks is correct?
2
Two meeples are provided, a large one and a small one, worth two points and one point, respectively. Each meeple can be placed on a different card or the same card.
How many points does the winning card earn?
1
The winning card is the player's card with the closest guess without going over, Price Is Right style.

4
Four points: one from the small meeple, two from the big meeple, and one point for having the winning card. The game is played to fifteen points.
How many more of these silly questions is this review going to have?
5? No, 6!
As a percentage, how many questions did the six year old referenced above have no clue on how to answer?
33%
Approximately one in three questions were blind shots in the dark, but there are several questions that a child can get dead-on that an adult may have trouble with, like the number of Disney princesses.
As a percentage, how many questions did the reviewer have no clue on how to answer?
10%
This can lead to adults having a runaway game, so some handicapping may be necessary to keep the younger kids competitive. Only allowing the small meeple to be used, for example.
In pounds and ounces, how heavy is the reviewer?
That's rather personal don't you think?
I'm just saying, you look pretty good. Have you been working out?
Wow, thanks! I have been trying to hit the gym more regularly, but isn't this starting to stray off topic?
I'm supposed to be the only one asking the questions.
That wasn't a question.
I'm supposed to be the only one asking the questions?
That's just ridiculous. I think it's time to call it.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "Bantha poodoo" and 10 being "OMG OMG DOUBLE MEEPLE ALL THE WAY", what did this reviewer rate Wits & Wagers: Family?
7
Wait, can I change my answer to 7.5?
I think he rated it an 8 but I don't want to go over.
