Fannish games
Jan. 15th, 2013 11:33 amThe night before last, I was at the Foglios' for a fannish party — come one, come all, and there were a lot of "all". One main event was in a large banquet hall: a bingo-style game called "Pick 50". Players had double-sided bingo-type cards with grids of answers: words, numbers, phrases. The caller asked riddles, puzzles, cryptic questions, fannish trivia, other trivia. To mark a space, one had to find an answer on the card which correctly answered a question.
In retrospect, I think it would be too frustrating to play that game, but it could sure keep a lot of people busy for a long time.
