Wits & Wagers Family is a trivia game where the players don't have to know the exact answer to win the game. However, most people will only be taking a best guess at the answer.
Yes, there are some children (and adults) who will know the exact answer to this question. For example, a card may say, "When you first purchase Mario Kart Wii, how many characters can you choose from?" This is a game where all of the question cards' answers are written as numbers. We have enjoyed it and have played it numerous times together, all four of us. Little things that help me stay more humble are not bad, just annoying at times!Ī few weeks ago, our family received the board game, Wits & Wagers Family, to play and review here for you. I've given up on the idea that I will always come out a winner. I've learned to survive this with playing games truly "for fun", with no expectation to win or trounce everyone else. But if it's a game involving strategy, even if I know what the strategy may be, most likely I won't be doing all that well with it. That would be poor sportsmanship, right? And my children would be very embarrassed and would claim to not know me. And while I'd love to jump around and screech and open the door and shout my head off to the neighborhood that I won that particular game, I don't. Sure, there have been moments when I play better, or even win a game. In other words, I've become a good sport out of desperation! The only thing that has improved in my game-playing ability is my level of patience and acceptance that I will almost always lose or come close to last. Well, fast-forward to 2010, and things haven't improved all that much. I probably did that more than once, I'll admit. Sometimes, I just felt like picking up that board or deck of cards and dumping it over. Sometimes, board game play ended with me in tears or immense frustration when playing games with my brother and sister.
As a child, I think this bothered me a little - that I wasn't all that great at strategy. I have an uncanny knack of losing most games that I sit down to play with my family and friends.
