I want to try this game out on a group that is up for playing some a party game.

They are total non-gamers....Balderdash to them is like ASL would be to me.

Will they like this one or should I just play Pictionary with them....gulp I actually like Pictionary...

This game may be close to the ultimate non-gamer game. Everyone from Grandma to little kids is fully capable of understanding the rules and will immediately be hooked. I have yet to bring this out in a party type situation where everyone is having a great time and instantly wants to know where they can get their own copy.

I play this game with non-gamers only. My wife, father, mother, all enjoy it. Its very quick and a lot of fun! You can win without knowing any trivia.

Great game!

I play this game with gamers and non-gamers alike. I brought this out to work to play at lunchtiime with non-gamer cow-orkers and it was a fantastic success. Every day, the crowd around the game got bigger and bigger. Highly recommended.

It's very, very good mostly because it's so easy to explain and you don't need skills to enjoy the game.

I think this game works very well with non-gamers.

At this point, I'm just adding to the chorus, but Wits & Wagers works very well with non-gamers.

Cheers,
Erik

Picked this game up at WBC after a great demo from Dominic. Brought it home and played it with many non-gamer family members at a birthday party -- huge hit! Much better than Pictionary
