[–] vrek@programming.dev 15 points 5 days ago (3 children) Actual fun way to play guess who. You can't ask any questions about their physical appearance, only ask about guesses about them. "do they have grandkids?" "do they have a full time job?" "do they regularly see a therapist?" It's hectic and chaotic but way more fun than "do they have glasses?" permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 4 days ago (1 child) I used to play it like this, not as a child, but more of teenage drinking/smoking age sort of thing. I think we focused on slightly sillier questions though, such as (as far as I can remember): "Do they have the cold, dead eyes of a killer," and "Do they ever start a sentence with 'I'm not racist, but...'" mixed in with stuff like "does it look like they've just cacked their pants?"

It's not like playing with your child thing, just being stupid with friends thing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 point 4 days ago My kid just gets annoyed when I do this permalink fedilink source parent [–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 0 points 5 days ago* (2 children) We have considered making our own with family member cards.

It's for making jokes with your friends after a few beers. permalink fedilink source parent [–] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 5 days ago They don't, that's the fun part. You have to make it up like there's some older woman in a flower hat, she definitely has cats, there's some other guy with a pointy face and glasses, he has atleast one cat probably is black and sits in his lap as he reads a book each night. Bonus : you have to justify why you put down each person. permalink fedilink source parent
