Foolish Questions

2–0 players · 0 min

Early 20th century card game featuring drawings by Rube Goldberg.

The game consists of a question sheet and numbered answer cards. It is mostly a party game.

To play, one person acts as host and the shuffled answer cards are distributed equally among the rest of the players. Thus the host doesn't know which player has what numbered card. The host picks questions at random and whichever player has the answer card for the question with that number reads the answer. The card is then thrown in the discard pile on the table. The host ticks off that question as used and picks another question. The first player to get rid of all of their answer cards is the winner.
