About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever hit that point where you've answered almost everything in your favorite trivia game and your friends have started memorizing the answers? That's exactly where Wits & Wagers Expansion Pack 1 steps in to save the night. This pack is a feast of content, bringing no less than 700 new questions to completely refresh the table dynamics and ensure no one can cheat by memory.

The big highlight here is the curation. The content featured the collaboration of Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy! legend who won millions of dollars with his absurd knowledge. He didn't just help write the questions; he also included a special personality card featuring his seven favorite questions and a fun cartoon, adding a human and expert touch to the game. If you grabbed the version with this card, know that it's a collector's item, as subsequent print runs might not include it.

Beyond Ken's touch, the expansion maintains the essence of what makes Wits & Wagers genius: you don't need to be a genius to win; you just need to know who at the table seems to be the genius (or who is bluffing better). With the addition of hundreds of new themes and curiosities, the betting becomes more intense and the fun is multiplied. It's the perfect upgrade for those who already love the base game and want to expand their horizon of questions without having to buy a brand new game from scratch. Just mix the new cards into the deck and let the chaos — and the laughter — begin. If you're looking to refresh your game nights with friends and family, this pack is the logical choice to keep the competitiveness high.
