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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Can I play this pack on its own?
No, it's an expansion. You need the Wits & Wagers base game for the rules and betting components.
How many questions are included in total?
There are 700 new questions, potentially 707 if you have the Ken Jennings personality card.
Does the game become harder with this expansion?
The difficulty follows the base game standard: some questions are tough, but the focus remains on betting and intuition.
How many players can use this content?
Since it's just a question pack, it supports the same player count as the base game (3 to 7 players).
Is it worth buying if I play rarely?
If you feel the base game questions are becoming repetitive, yes! It's the cheapest way to breathe new life into the game.
