How does one decide between original W&amp;W, Part W&amp;W, &amp;Family W&amp;W?

W&W Family is the best edition when playing with kids. The questions make sense to a 5 year old, the game does not use poker chips (there is no gambling), and the rules are the most simple of all three editions. The original W&W is a little more complicated than the other editions. It incorporates the excitement of Vegas by including a felt mat that has different payout odds for each of the guesses. The questions in this edition are the most academic of the three options. It was designed as a party game for adults. None of the content is inappropriate for kids, but some of the questions are about things which they will not have heard of (like Michelangelo's David sculpture, or Martin Luther King). W&W Party is a combination of the other two editions. The rules are very simple (like the Family edition), but you are allowed to bet your poker chips on the last question. The questions are lighter than the original W&W (some of them are very silly), but they are not geared for kids. This edition was designed to play with all three generations over the holidays. It was designed to get people interacting and having fun as quickly as possible. You can play any of these editions in teams. In fact, I think Wits & Wagers is MOST fun when played in teams. So any of these editions can be played with 20+ people. I hope this helps! Dominic Crapuchettes Designer of Wits & Wagers and Say Anything

W&W Family is the best edition when playing with young kids.

I also wondered which to get. I ended up with this version, and I'm really glad. My 6 year old grandchildren have no trouble doing the easier cards, and they enjoy trying and conquering the tougher ones. Plus, adults can also enjoy this version. Don't know about buying cards separately, but not that I've ever seen.

Hello, you do not need the original version as the gold edition has the complete original game. It is a lot of fun and provides lots of game time. I highly recommended it both for those who enjoy battle games and city building as it is a blend of the two.

Go for the + - it is the updated and expanded version and you should be able to buy it for about $299 if you shop well. It has everything the original has and MORE!

I do not know: I bought the book but never bought the LFLR & W System. My child read the book as a regular book

Thanks for the info! I was really curious to know what the difference was between the two and could never get an answer that made any sense, until now. I went ahead and ordered the W, and I'm very pleased so far.

You're going to have a hard time finding someone who owns both. Pretty much you have one or the other. Your best bet is to look both of them up on Boss' website and look through the features. On a personal note, this is kind of a lazy question. You could have saved a lot of time just looking up the answer yourself instead of having someone else spoon feed you the info. You obviously have Internet access. Google it.

Why not get all of the parts from Waste King? They are inexpensive and this will force you to do a clean installation without any surprises down the road. By the way, you'll love the WK, we sure do!

Is difficult to say how hard to get will be for you. But it is not so friendly/intuitive as I thought. w7 will be much more easier for someone with long time with XP. But, again, to choose between them depends of your change/learn/curiosity predisposition/willigness. Hope this helps you.

I like WMP 11. The Zune software is basically the same, but with Zune Marketplace integrated. Nevertheless, I agree, the Microsoft Points system is quite silly. I mean, I know they have their reasons, but I think it would be easier for the average user to use plain dollars. I went ahead and subscribed to the Zune Pass option ($14.99 plus taxes I think) which lets you download all you want and synchronize to up to two Zune's. I've been downloading like crazy for the last two days and loving it!

I recommend Legacy Collection as it comes with all of the games (except portable ops) especially since I'm guessing you're new to the franchise. HD only comes with 2, 3, and Peace Walker where as if you're new to the franchise, is not a good place to start the franchise. HD came out first during the middle of previous gen games where that's all there was. Legacy came out years later by the end of Previous Gen's games as the "Ultimate" Collection in a way

The newer versions are more complete with "new" roads added (such as newly built plats, etc); they are more complete. Other than that, everything else is the same (THANK GOD!) so if you're familiar with an older version, you won't have to re-learn anything. Sure wish Microsoft could do that with at least one version of Windows. :-)

I have both versions available. Sorry for the confusion on the description I will change it as soon as possible.

I recommend purchasing the newer version. I own and love the old version and the new version has the option of adding a twist but you can just chose to play it the traditional way. The biggest reason I would recommend purchasing the new one if the words and people are more current and relevant to today.

Wouldn't it be great if WD published such clear comparisons! Here are a few differences from what I can tell - I'm sure there are more: 1. No netflix on this one 2. Default UI is a little different with favorite tiles showing up by default rather than scrolling options across the bottom 3. I can stream content to this one from other devices which is a little nifty. I don't think the old one did this but maybe so. 4. I can't set my favorite .jpg as the background on this one - previous one supported this. I'm sure there are other things.
