I know it's all just the process of elimination but it's still fun.
Plus I like his face when he gets it wrong.

I stumped him with Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal.

[sgt.null]

he guessed my Tarzan

[Auleliel]

Stumped it twice and had it guess it twice.

We used to play this as a party game with the name of your character written on a rizla and stuck to the person on your left's forehead (therefore we knew it as 'the rizla game'). They had to ask yes/no questions (allowed another question if answer was yes) to try and find out who the character stuck on their forehead was.

It is also possible to play as a drinking game (drink while you think)

[Auleliel]

What's a rizla?

[stonemaybe]

cigarette papers for rolling your own rather than tailor-made cigs. (so has a gummy bit along one edge, ideal for sticking to someone's forehead)

[Auleliel]

Couldn't you just use a post-it note?

[stonemaybe]

the parties where we played that game, um .... rizlas were more common that post-its. As in, everyore had some rizla (they're handy for all-sorts ), no-one had post-its.

But you certainly could use post-its! as long as they're not wide enough that you could look upwards and see the impression of what's written on yours.

ps if paying the game this way, no-one's allowed to go to the toilet! (normally mirrors in there)

here in the us we have zig-zags.

[aliantha]

I stumped him with Covenant.

[CovenantJr]

50% success rate for the genie so far.

Guessed: Hulk Hogan, Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter

Failed to guess: Steerpike from Gormenghast, Kristine Kochanski from Red Dwarf
