Thanks to ncefafn for reminding me it's my turn :) I've got a card in mind now, fire away! :)

Is this the Robin Wood deck? Kim

Phoenix Rising	27 Apr 2004
Is it the 3 of pentacles?

hedgecub	27 Apr 2004
Kim: Yep it is :) Phoenix Rising: Nope, keep guessing :) Prolly best to narrow it down with more general questions first :)

hedgecub	27 Apr 2004
This just occured to me.. for those of you who don't have the Robin Wood, a scan of the entire deck (all 78 cards) is here. They've put all the images on one page, so it might take a while to load.

Phoenix Rising	27 Apr 2004
Ooh, my favourite Robin wood. Is it a Pentacle card?

Phoenix, here are the rules for 15 questions (then 20 questions, when the rules were written): Quote: What card am I: 20 Questions - The object of the game is to guess correctly the card being referred to. - In order to do this, you must ask questions about it. - The initiator of the thread will specify the deck that the card is from. - Questions must be closed questions (ie- can only be answered by 'yes' or 'no'. - Questions must be based on image. Questions such as 'Is it a Major?' or 'Is it a Court card?' are not allowed. - Each person may only ask one question at a time: they may ask their next question when their previous one has been answered. - If, however, somebody else has asked a question that has not yet been answered, a different person may still post a new question: the same person may not post two unanswered questions in a row. - You can guess what card you think it is at any time during the game. - If you guess incorrectly, you are 'out' and cannot guess any more. (This refers to the card, eg- "Is it the 6 of Wands?" not the questions themselves, eg- "Does it have flowers in it?") NB: I think this rule has been abandoned, by agreement - The person who guesses in the least number of questions wins. - The total maximum of questions is 20. - If the card is not guessed correctly within 20 questions, the initiator must reveal what the card is and have another go, starting a different thread. - It can be any deck, any card, though it helps to use a deck that many people will own. (Or give a link to where all the cards from that deck can be seen.) Most of all, enjoy the game! ======== Hope this helps! Kim

Sorry if I came off sounding school-marmish. As far as I know, we don't follow the one wrong guess and you're out rule anymore. If we did, I don't think anyone would ever win this game! Now, let me ponder the answers and the images and get back later with another question. Kim

ncefafn	28 Apr 2004
Is it nighttime? Kim

hedgecub	28 Apr 2004
Water: Yes Male: Yes Nighttime: Er, how about Yes. :)

gloria	28 Apr 2004
Does this male have facial hair?

hedgecub	28 Apr 2004
Quote: Originally posted by gloria Does this male have facial hair? Whoah, that's one of the most creative questions I've seen so far :) Though I haven't been playing for very long.. :) *checks* Nope :)

Cryptic_Lyric	28 Apr 2004
Are there children in the card? C.L.

Phoenix Rising	28 Apr 2004
Hi guys, I'm back, and a bit more clued up on the rules too. Does it have a yellow background?

ncefafn	28 Apr 2004
Is it the 10 of Swords? Kim

hedgecub	28 Apr 2004
Children: No Yellow: Yesish Kim: YES!!! :D *starts calling you Kim*

Phoenix Rising	28 Apr 2004
So Kim get's it? So how did she get that with so little clues and feedbacks hah? Wow that is good skills there Kimi. I like these guessing games.

ncefafn	28 Apr 2004
The key is to keep going back and forth between the clues and the card images. Process of elimination. :) On to the next game! Kim

Dark Eyes	29 Apr 2004
Well done Kim, very excellent process of elimination ! :)
