Think you know a little about a lot? Put your mind to the test with Wit’s End, a family-style board game for 2–6 players. Packed with riddles and brain teasers on history, popular culture, geography, arts and more, the game features 1600 questions and 4 unique categories: Sequence, Wild Card, Teaser and Odd 1 Out. Challenging, entertaining and delightfully fast-paced, Wit’s End is designed for players 12 yr. of age and older. Made in USA.The game is called Wit’s End, which is just where you might find yourself when playing this lively contest of lateral, literal, and level-lifting thinking. Players try to reach the summit of the board by answering questions in four categories such as Odd 1 Out, Teaser, Sequence, or the ever-troubling Wild Card–a nerve-jangling catchall for trivia, slang, quotations, and time-limited queries. Wit’s End is tougher than most trivia-based games, and it’s deceptive, too. Players needn’t answer all categories to win, so how tough can it be to move up the board? Well, for every “Arrange Jaws, The Sting, and Star Wars by release date” there’s a “Borneo is to 3, as Hispanola is to: 1, 2, 3, or 4?” (And it’s got nothing to do with number of syllables–we peeked.) If you can name four European countries starting with S (while an opponent counts to 30), can you do as well with “millimeter is to centimeter, as chain is to: link, decimeter, furlong, or ounce”? There’s also an optional “Sorry!” feature that allows you to bounce an opponent down a level for correct answers to certain questions. Smart and sophisticated, with a soupçon of luck, Wit’s End is a game to challenge both great wits and those only halfway there. –Tony Mason

Finally! WIT’S END, WIT’S END, WIT’S END. I have been waiting for a game like this. I love trivia and fact based games, but feel there has been a great void in that area since the hey day of Trivial Pursuit. The game is not at all like Trivial Pursuit – It is better! Instead of straight questions, Wit’s End has mind teasing categories. These categories use all types of facts – historical, geographical, biological, political or on a more popular level – sports, movies, famous people, etc. Also,…
One for your collection This belongs in your game collection. You’ll be playing it forever and it’s fun. There’s a nice touch: you combine your knowledge of facts and your reasoning capabilities (really putting you at your `Wit’s End’ on occasion). There is more than enough food for thought in the first three general categories – called Teasers, Odd1Out and Sequence (the names fit perfectly) – and I think I counted 12 (maybe 13) different `brain riddle’ types in the fourth general category – Wild Card. The researchers…
