About the game
One player (the leader of the round) take a card from a pile containing weird questions (such as "why chicken lay eggs of different colors"), then he chooses one of them and reads it aloud for the rest of the players. Each one of the players must write secretly an answer for the question. More than knowing the correct answer, it is important to try and convince your opponents that your answer is the right one. After all players have written their papers, the leader reads aloud all of the answers given by the players adding the correct answer from the card. Then each player vote on the definition he thinks is the correct. Players score by getting votes from others players, by giving the correct answer to the question or by voting in the correct answer. The leader of the round only scores if no player votes in the correct answer.
