So the Halloween party was a huge success. We had fewer people then we expected. It seems baby sitters are hard to come by on Holiday weekends (Who knew). Either way the party was a lot of fun and we even had some special guests with Zack and his wife Amanda stopping by.
In a twist of irony, the only downside was the insane amount of food I prepared but it all worked out in the end now that I have snacks for the next 3 weeks.
Even though the rule was no games, Tim brought Wits and Wagers by my request. At first when I suggested we play it some of the ladies gave me odd looks like I was trying to sneak in contraband or something. I suggested we play it once and if anyone did not like it, we could do something else. In the end we played 3 times and I absolutely love this game.
I am not a big fan of trivia games, but this game has added elements which made it really rock. Its really not about knowing the right answer, but betting on who you think has the right answer. For me it was more about playing the averages then trying to get the questions right every time. Basically everyone answers a trivia question secretly. Then all answers are revealed and placed in order on a game board. You then choose if you want to bet on 1 or 2 of the provided answers. The actual answer is revealed, and those closest to the correct answer make back money they bet on it. 7 questions total, and the game is over. The person with the most money wins.
It’s a fast game perfect for parties and brought some added fun to the night. We even talked Rachel (the anti-christ of strategy games) into trying out some new games next time we play. We will have to see if that was true or just the wine talking.

I'm glad you like Wits & Wagers. We're getting great responses to it.
You forgot to let people know that you can now purchase it nationwide at Target!
Cheers,
Dominic
