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.
I went through all of our spreadsheets and found 21 questions that are somewhat related to Halloween. Pick you favorite seven for a great Halloween party.
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.
Here is a sign-up sheet you can use when you are hosting a Wits & Wagers game show at your convention. I have also uploaded a flyer which explains the details of this event.
If your convention attracts over 100 people, and you can get 21 people to join in the event, then contact North Star Games. We will send prize support.

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.
I have taken some of the questions from the Christmas Trivia forum thread and put them into this list. There are also a lot of other trivia questions from around the internet. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
