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.
In one multiplayer variant, the game is played with two lines facing each other. The two opponents at the heads of the lines play each other and go to the back of the line (or the other line) when they foul. Scoring can be however the players like.
In another multiplayer variant, players are simply removed from the round for a foul.
