About the game
Each card gives a question asking for a number. For example "How many car accident has happened in 2010 in Japan?". Then everyone secretly write the answer but it doesn't have to be correct. In fact, the aim of the game is to be the median of everyone's answer - then you receive points. If your answer is one of the extremes (the smallest or the largest), then you get penalty points. Obviously, you can make up your own questions.
