I wanted to create a new game so that the forums members could play it. I enjoyed a lot playing with the fun games on the board with everyone else. I thought it was time for another trivia game with few a modification of an existing game.

I will explained the rules of the game. This is a more of a fun challenging kind that will make you think a bit harder to guess the answers. You all probably notice all of the games on this page(Water Cooler) with 3 word story game; describe it in three words; fun new word game among others. Well, basically the game in a way is very simple it's all mix into single one but with a new twist. You could ask History questions, political questions, true and false questions, and quotes. This is a new game that will give the opportunity to have it your way, that's right you could ask anything you want. Every time you ask a question so that next poster gets to answer it, you got to be specific of what you are asking to that person, so that he will know on how to answer it. Below I will give a few examples.

Here are a illustration of how the game works.

1) Describe to me this word in three letters.

China: Red Communist country.

2) This is a History question of true and false.

It is true that Abraham Lincoln got shot on the Theater on this play "Our American Cousin" on April 14, 1865.
True or False

3) Guess who said this quote.
" The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it."
A: Duddley Moore
B: Jeff Burton


4) Guess how many words you could make with this small word.
Politicians ?

* Lion
* Politic
* Clan


Now that I gave examples of how to play the game, now there is a few basic rules.
• Only questions related to the game, could be asked to the player.
• One poster at a time, so that it will give the chance for others new players to get involved in the game. That means one turn each.
• VERY IMPORTANT!!!! When asking political question, do not ask to the poster whether what political party he belongs to, nor what presidential candidates he give his support to. Only basic questions e.g. like, how many terms did president clinton served as U.S president and such things of that nature.
• If you do not know the answer to a question, remember Google Search, Yahoo! search and Wikipedia are your online friends.

Let's have fun, Shall we?

The mere point of this game is what ? The game is like everything else, why would you combine a game very much similar to what others had put on the forums. I think that it was a bit unnecessary gathering all the games just in one thread. What you could had done was to make the history question game, because it steals the attention of the others ones and concentrate it to yours only.
