	Description Edit \| History

Wits & Wagers Family is the family version of the most award winning party game in history.
This edition is more simple, has less down time, and is more portable than the original Wits & Wagers. It also removes the "gambling" element and has questions that are appropriate for kids and the whole family. Most importantly, Wits & Wagers Family makes use of the beloved Meeple playing piece!

How to Play
1) A question is asked.
2) Everyone writes down a guess.
3) The guesses are placed face-up on the table and ordered smallest to largest.
4) Place your Meeples on the guess that you think is closest to the right answer.

Feeling confident? Place a Meeple on your guess.
Think your kids knows better? Place your Meeples on their guess.
Have no idea? Bet on any guess and hope you get lucky!

Scoring
You can score up to 4 points on each question:
1 point for correctly placing the Small Meeple
2 points for correctly placing the Large Meeple
1 point if your guess is closest

The first player to 15 points wins.

Wits and Wagers Interactive Whiteboard Game

This is a template for use with interactive white boards in a classroom. The template is written using Promethean's Active Inspire Software. You will have to write your own questions. The directions to edit and use the template are contained in the teacher notes visible in Active Inspire using the browser. I use this for exam review with high school students, while my wife uses it for her elementary class.
