Wits & Wagers is your game of the week, but only for you in the NA and UK!

The Wits & Wagers trivia game, developed by Hidden Path Entertainment, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade this week! Bad news though, it's only being released in The US, The UK and Canada! Boo!

Just like the award-winning board game, players don’t have to be trivia experts to excel at Wits & Wagers, which balances social and betting skills with trivia knowledge. Choose your wacky dancing character and then dive into the game. You can win by making educated guesses, playing the odds or just knowing the interests of other players, whether they are local or online.

Break out the Big Button pad controllers and invite friends over for an entertaining couch vs. couch multiplayer experience on Xbox LIVE, supporting 1-4 players offline and 2-6 players in online multiplayer mode. With 700 trivia questions, great character costumes and dance moves, catchy music, achievements, leaderboards, support for the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera, the Xbox Big Button Pad and more, Wits & Wagers is the fun party game you can play with your family and friends starting this Wednesday!

The game will be released this Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (1:00 a.m. PDT).

Now I can understand why this is only being released in the US, UK and Canada - It's probably only in English (Though doesn't Canada have a rule of requiring French as well?), and that other English speaking countries such as Australia and New Zealand miss out! Bah! It's not rated on the PEGI or OFLC either, so don't expect it.
