It's a shame that Wits & Wagers: Trivia Party proves quite so illogical as it's a quite fun game. It's a bizarre way of doing it and does disrupt the fun somewhat. For instance, a question where a year in the 20th century was correct, the number 1 was the "winning" answer despite all other answers actually placed in the 20th century. I'm not entirely sure how Wits & Wagers: Trivia Party deduces the nearest answer but all too often, an answer nowhere near the correct answer seems to win. If no answers are correct then the nearest number wins. Players are given two bets of alternating size and told to bet on what they think is the most likely outcome. Once each player has decided on an answer, the wager side of the game emerges. It's a decent mix of trivia and even the biggest of trivia addicts should find a challenge within. They can vary from questions about a specific year to a certain quantity of something or age of a famous person when something occurred to them. Each answer is a number so a keypad is available to enter the player's guess. The idea is simple: Players compete with each other to complete a series of questions. What's not so fine is that growing sense that Wits & Wagers: Trivia Party is a little unfair in how it works out who the winner is. A lot can be achieved and enjoyed in those few minutes, and it's fine to play the game for short or extended sessions. Initially, Wits & Wagers: Trivia Party seems like the ideal game to dive into whenever there's a spare five minutes. But just be warned that the scoring in Wits & Wagers is more than just a bit confusing. Easily corrected by providing better in game help. Made doubly confusing since this isn't explained well in the game. It's an odd scoring rule decision, especially considering how only viewers of the Price is Right would understand or even consider it. The closest to the answer without going over is correct. What isn't well explained, if at all, is that the game uses what we in the US would call "Price is Right" rules.
