Different Ways to Play
Classic Mode: The goal of the game is for all players to reach the center of the board. Players will work together to move their tokens clockwise around the spiral track in the middle. On each turn, a player will draw a “Bet Card” which contains a number of options they must choose from. Players can select between saving, investing, or betting on their stats (Intelligence, Strength, Charisma). This will determine how quickly they move around the board by increasing or decreasing their stats number, as well as earn or lose money. The game ends when one player reaches the center of the board and wins!
Crazy Mode: In this version of What’s Your Bet, there are three extra options available to each player on their turn. These include bluffing, swindling and ‘what’s your bet’ bets. When bluffing, a player can predict an event and if unlikely enough, other players may be able to cash in on their prediction if it happens. Swindling allows players to take money from other polls without having anything invested for it. And finally ‘what’s your bet’ bets allow any two players participating in the game to place wagers against each other! All these extra options make Crazy mode even more interesting as players use various strategies to gain or lose points faster than in Classic mode.

What’s Your Bet Board Game is a fun and easy-to-learn board game for up to four players. The game includes an exciting betting system that brings an element of chance and bluffing into the game for some added fun. Additionally, a great feature about this board game is its vibrant design and sturdy pieces which will last for years.
The game features a hexagonal grid with circled spaces where each player places their tokens. This grid is designed to encourage strategic plays (as opposed to games like tic-tac-toe). Each player begins the game with six differently colored chips that they must place on the board attempting to form squares or lines of four or more chips in the same color.
When creating the board, players should line up their 6 chips each in diagonal horizontal rows facing themselves across from each other See below example:
X:X:X:X:X
:O:O:O:O:O | Player 1
X:X:X:X | Player 2
:O:O |
X |
When setting up the game it’s important to remember that all chips must be placed on their starting positions before players can make any move. The winner of each round is determined by whoever has more squares or lines of four or more chips in the same color. Each time someone wins a round, they gain one point and first player to three points wins the entire match! To spice up your matches, also consider introducing special action cards that allow you to move and manipulate your tokens for some advantageous positions!
Video Demonstration
A video demonstration for the What’s Your Bet board game should include a description of the rules, the components of the game, an explanation of how to set up the game and play it, plus a show-and-tell of the different parts that make up What’s Your Bet.
To start, explain what is included in the box when you open it ” 6 decks of cards, 8 colored chips, and a game board divided into four betting sections. Explain how each card represents a celebrity name or movie title and that there are 4 categories: TV & Movies, Music & Entertainment, Sports & Athletes and Places & Landmarks. Then explain how each player takes on a character with something they bet on in each category.
Next demonstrate how to prepare for play – making sure all cards are shuffled and placed within reach (or inside cardholders if desired); setting up the chip bank; placing chips representing your chosen character at “Start!” on the board; and finally – considering who will be banker and who will decide which category everyone will be playing for that round.
Explain how turns proceed – starting with player closest to Start!, players draw three cards at once from their designated category pile. They guess what celebrity/movie title each card represents while keeping them hidden from other players. Banker also takes three cards but only guesses one – usually out loud so all players can contribute answers, as well as hilarious jokes related to their choice!
Then demonstrate how bets are made by pushing chips into the four areas – “I Got It Right” area, “Nobody’s Got It Right” area “I Have One More Right Than Wrong” area and “I Have One Less Right Than Wrong” area BUT NO MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM OF THREE CHIPS PER AREA (note: if no chips have been pushed into Nobody’s Got It Right section during current turn then this means all other players got at least one answer correctly). After selection is complete banker reveals what celebrity/movie was represented by his/her single card while allowing other players to do same if they wish.
Finally demonstrate scoring by passing scoring pegs around board – moving right to left clockwise one space for each correct answer but subtracting two spaces per incorrect answer (-1 if last wrong guess is found in “Nobody’s Got It Right” section). Start peg moves along path connected via alternating between yellow/blue squares until first player reaches finish line thereby ending game whose winner will be highest total score among all players!
Design Overview
What’s Your Bet is an exciting board game that incorporates elements of risk and strategy that the whole family can enjoy. The design process began by creating an interactive game board built with a sturdy cardboard and foam core combination. The board was custom made to include unique graphics depicting a Las Vegas casino theme. Every move on the game board was intricately crafted, including specialty spaces for bonus rewards, special dice rolls and mulligans. For its pieces, What’s Your Bet uses casino chips, custom poker-style cards and faux playing cards inspired by card games like Blackjack or Texas Hold ’em. While navigating the game path players encounter different betting challenges where they must try to win the previous player’s chips with calculated tactics and luck with the roll of their dice. In order to do this efficiently, every player is given three special dice that aid in triggering rewards along their journey or allowing them to create beneficial combinations from their hand of cards or from opposing players’ bets. As much as it’s based on strategy as well as chance, What’s Your Bet presents one main goal: be the first player to collect all of your opponents’ chips!
