Gambit 7 is a new kind of trivia game - you don't need to know the answer to win! In Gambit 7; all players simultaneously write their answer to the same question and place it face-up on the Betting Board. All questions have a numerical answer; so even players that don't know the subject matter at hand can make a guess!
Players then have a limited time to either bet on themselves or bet on another player's answers. The winning answer is the one that is closest to being correct; but no higher! Players earn points for either getting the winning answer or for betting on the player who does. The one with the most points after 7 rounds of questions is the winner!
Gambit categories include: Business & Economy; Art & Literature; Geography & Nature; History & Government; Pop Culture; Science; Sports & Leisure; and Wild Card. The set of questions in Gambit 7 were designed to be culturally appropriate for each specific language version.
While Gambit 7 can be played with as few as 3 players; the more friends and family you gather; the more fun and excitement you will experience! With more than 7 players; simply split into teams of 2 or 3 and work together to answer the questions and decide how to bet.
A german mini edition was published in 2008 for promotional use under the name Gambit 7 Das mini Spiel. It contains 7 cards and a ruleset printed on a seperate card.
