Quote:
Questions is a game which is played by asking questions. Play begins when the first player serves by asking a question (often "Would you like to play questions?"). The second player must respond to the question with another question (e.g. "How do you play that?"). Each player must quickly continue the conversation by using only questions—no hesitation, statements, or non sequiturs. The game is usually played with two players, although multiplayer variants exist.
RULES:
Scoring is done by foul. Fouls can be called for:
statement: player fails to reply with a question
hesitation: player takes too long to reply or grunts or makes a false start
repetition: player asks questions identical to or synonymous with one already asked this game (not match)
rhetoric: player asks a rhetorical question
non-sequitur: player responds with an unrelated question
When a foul is called on a player, his opponent is awarded one point. First player to get three points wins a game. Matches are played to best out of three games.
