The game is "deep but not profound" and, if you want to play take a turn and try to figure out the rule. When you figure out the rule please dont spoil it!

Two of those are right (“moody…” & “attempting…”)

And two are right if you reversed the words (“confused…” & “playing…”)

Hill but not mountain.

Never played this one before, but used to do a lot of similar games. Im going to introduce it to the niblings.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I've started a different thread inspired by this one (didn't want to confuse/hijack this thread with a different game).

A friend of mine introduced us all to a game like this, but you have to play it in person, it wouldn't work online. Best played with about a dozen of you in a large public house.
