![]() I recently got the chance to play it with eight players, and I have to say: I don’t recommend it. The game, however, is intended as a party game that plays all the way up to 12 players. I like the idea that, because there is an element of luck, a trivia master wouldn't necessarily win 100 percent of the time. Sure, the winner may be the person who got luckiest on their guesses, but it still makes for a fun time. Problems aside, this is a decent two-player game since playing the game is a fun excuse to go through the great question cards. Triviathon, despite what its box claims, is not a trivia game for everyone. Wits and Wagers is a trivia game for everyone because everyone can make a decent educated guess or bet on who might know the answer. In Wits and Wagers, I could do some math to guess how many cups of coffee the average American drinks in a year, but I have no clue how to guess facts about species of plants. ![]() ![]() There really isn’t a great way to make an educated guess because of the sort of questions offered. ![]() You may think that a certain species of lizard must have either zero or two eyes only to find out that it has three. There are questions with answers you might know the answer to, yes, but there are enough trick questions in the mix to make you doubt that you can think out the options. This does set up for fun decisions: should you take the answer that you’re pretty sure will move you two spaces, or should you guess at what might move you three places? Other times, the questions make you feel as if you're making random guesses. You’re unlikely to know the answers to any of the questions. ![]()
