One of my favorite board games

Short post today because I am about to have a board game night with my beautiful girlfriend, her sister, and some mutual friends. Because of the occasion I wanted to share what I think i one of the funnest party games I have, Wits and Wagers.
 
It takes the crazy trivia of a trivial pursuit or cranium and merges it with a fun betting system a la poker. In a nutshell, each player is given a small white board and asked a weird trivia question such as "in feet, how tall was the worlds tallest giraffe?". Everyone writes down their answers and they are arranged smallest to largest on a mat with different pay offs and everyone bets on who they think is closest. The best part about the game is the wide variety of answers and the completely retarded ones from people making wild guesses. Next to balderdash and apples to apples this is always a blast to play. 

Wanna challenge me? Name a time and place in the comments and its on like King Kong!
