"I thought I would drop you a line to let you know how Wits and Wagers went over with my in-laws. I have a mixed group to work with: my wife does not play many games, her sister loves them, as does my niece and nephew. My mother-in-law likes card games and my father-in-law tolerates them. My brother-in-law does not like any sort of game.""

"I finally got everyone except my brother-in-law to give Wits and Wagers a try. A few hours later, we finished up our fifth game in a row. Everyone who played it loved it and a couple of them asked how to get a copy!"

— David Reed in an email

"Wits and Wagers is one of the few games my mother in law will request to play."

— Matthan Heiselt in an email

"Wits & Wagers is pure party magic. It combines the best elements of top trivia games with elements of casino gambling and includes everyone regardless of their trivia knowledge. What's more is nearly every question resulted in laughs and substantial social interaction."

"W&W is now a staple at lunch hour. The lunch table is getting more and more crowded every day. Well done, North Star Games!"

— Christian Monterroso on the BGG message board

"The first game we had 5 people playing and it was a complete hit, everyone who played it wanted to immediately play again, and as people watched and overheard they too wanted in on the next game. We ended up playing the game 7 times in 1 evening with 13 people in our final game."

— Jeremy Cobert on the BGG message board

"Easily the most fun that my friends and family had all week! ...Even though I usually dislike trivia and party games, Wits & Wagers is so much fun that it transcends both categories."

— Posted on the BGG message board by Ed Jamer

"My new favorite party game. I played this many times over the holidays with family and gaming friends, and it was a hit with both groups. My father, who can barely sit still for any game, requested a THIRD game after coming in a close second place to my mother."

— Brian Jones on the BGG message board

"What I like about the game is that you really don't have to know trivia... The rules are simple and the questions are very good... A quick-playing trivia game? Surely it can't be possible, but with Wits and Wagers, it is! I had a chance to test it out with my family over Thanksgiving, and it was an instant hit - so much so that my sister and her husband purchased a copy for their friends!"

— Paul Thomas on the BGG message board

"We played it New Years Eve and as soon as we were done the kids said, "Can we play this again tomorrow?!""

— Molly Marchetti in an email to us

"I really think this is going to keep breaking for you and Satish and it could turn out to be Taboo!-esque - the next party game that pretty much everyone plays, just without the annoying buzzer... Heck, it's already a much, much better game than Scene-It and Cranium combined... "

— Jason Strong in an email

"The Saturday after Thankgiving the wife and I had some people over to play games of various types. The big winner of the session was Wits and Wagers..."

— Matthew St. Lawrence on the BGG message board

"Lots of fun in a short game. I think this will take the place of Apples to Apples as being the most requested game on "game night" with the family. Thank goodness!!!"

— Eric Knauer on the BGG message board

"Top 5 Family / Party Games of 2005
This wins the prize for creativity and fun factor. The game includes a very innovative scoring system for a trivia game making it easy for the trivia challenged to have fun."

— Chris Brooks on his blog

"Even my step dad, who will usually only join in if the game involves a standard deck of cards, played three games with us."

— Brett Myers on the BGG message board

"We played 6 games last night."

— Tony Mastrangeli on the BGG message board

"The games were short, fun and at the end of each, someone would say, "Anyone want to play another one, I will.." and we would all stay seated at the table. I have played it 35 times or more during the last three days. We've been to 3 different households, and have played mulitple times with 4 different groups of people. It even got to the point I was having to say, "nope, can't use that question, I heard it last night" (yep, I'm honest that way)."

— Vickie Watson, in an email to us

"I'm not much of a trivia game aficionado, but Wits & Wagers was nevertheless lots of fun, and different enough from other trivia games that it deserves a positive review: unique and entertaining!"

— John Cooper, from his blog

"There's nothing trivial about this pursuit--it just rocks! Highly recommended party game for party animals and party politicos alike."

— Lisa Surprenant, review on FunAgain.com

"We played wits & wagers Monday for our Boardgame night and it went over very well. We had a lot of fun writing silly messages and pictures along with our answers on the dry erase boards. Needless to say it was a hit. Thanks so much for the games!"

— Christine, from an email

"We played Wits & Wagers the other night. My girlfriend had work friends over, about 6 or 7 of us, and it was a hit! Nice work...Wits & Wagers was even better received than Scene It."

— David Herman, from an email (2/9/2006)

"It was a fun diversion and raised some laughs and other loud exclamations. A good choice for after Thanksgiving turkey with the family."

— Simon Hunt, on the BGG message board
