How to play

You need: a list of questions, or one phone.

1. Sit in a circle where everyone can see everyone.
2. The reader reads a question out loud.
3. Count to three. Everyone points at one player at the same moment; you cannot point at yourself.
4. The player with the most fingers on them takes the card. On a tie, the tied players each take one.
5. The next player reads. After 15 or 20 questions, count the cards.

Rules

• Point at the same moment, so nobody follows the crowd.
• No pointing at yourself.
• The chosen player can explain, or just laugh.
• Skip any question that would hurt someone. The game is funny, never mean.

Variants

Secret vote

Everyone writes a name on a slip and the reader counts them. Fewer arguments, more suspense.

Prediction

Before pointing, the reader guesses who will get the most votes. A right guess scores a point.

Future edition

Only questions about the future: who will live abroad, who will write a book. Good for graduations and birthdays.

Tips to play better

• Play with people who know each other; with strangers, start with this or that instead.
• Mix flattering questions with silly ones, so everyone takes a card or two they like.
• Ask the winner of each card for one sentence of defense.
• In a mixed group, keep to questions about habits, talents and dreams.
