Trivial Announcement?: X3F Outs Wits and Wagers

Tue, 2008-02-19 19:12 — LunarDuality

WitsAndWagers Xbox360Fanboy has declared the latest addition to the ESRB website to be XBLA bound. What's the game? Why it's Wits and Wagers, a trivia board game that levels the playing field by allowing you to bet on other's answers. According to boardgamegeek.com, "you can win by making educated guesses, by playing the odds, or by knowing the interests of your friends."

The board version also accommodates up to 20 people so perhaps we've got another party game on our hands. Development is being handled by Hidden Path Entertainment.

Which is better for you? Knowing useless stuff, knowing (and having) friends, or betting big? Me, I'm all about useless knowledge.

i have a somewhat unrelated question: can any game make use of the 'scene it controller paddles' or are those paddles considered the property of the developers of Scene it (much like the various usb guitars for guitar hero and rock band)? This game would be a good paddle game, imho. also its a great board game - if you're tired of 'vanilla trivial pursuit' then pick this one up. Its really fun.
