Media Watch: Ken Jennings Is Slow

Slow to play new games, that is. Here’s an excerpt from multimillionaire and Jeopardy champ Ken Jennings’ blog, “Confessions of a Trivial Mind”:

Back in the early days of this blog, somebody from North Star Games emailed me asking if I’d like a review copy of their new trivia game, something called Wits & Wagers. Being a big fan of trivia games, especially free ones, I said sure, and the game appeared in the mail a few days later. It then spent a year or two sitting shrink-wrapped in our game closet. I had good intentions, but there was always something else to play, you know? Do you subject your guests to your homework, or do you just pull out Taboo again?

So now that Jennings has finally played the game, what does think of it? The short answer: ”Wits & Wagers is, despite the sorta-clunky name, a great game.” For the long answer, head to Jennings’ “Games people (eventually) play” post.
