Wits & Wagers Deluxe Trivia Party Game
✓ Product data checked October 30, 2026
Wits & Wagers asks questions with numerical answers (how many bones in the human body?); everyone writes a guess, the guesses are lined up on a felt mat, and players bet chips on the one they trust most. The best guesser wins, not the person who knows the answer, so nobody is shut out. North Star Games' Deluxe edition has the felt betting mat and chips, and plays in about 25 minutes for 3 to 7 players or teams, ages 10 and up. Rated 4.7 across 1,200+ reviews on Amazon US, at about $49.
