I’ve played it and enjoyed it quite a bit. One interesting aspect was that you’re penalized for guessing “too high,” so you have to be careful.
Another is how you can manipulate peoples’ biases—place your estimate at one point and then bet on someone else’s. A perfectly rational player wouldn’t fall for this, but some might think you wouldn’t make a bad estimate for fear of looking ignorant.
I (an electrical engineer) played with an economist, two psychologists, and a musician. I was way behind until one question was for the speed of light in miles per second. I bet with high confidence, and all followed my bets, but the winnings were substantial.
I would recommend getting a good group of people to play it, and to change the rules around and see how they affect play. It’s a good time.
