This is the now OOP self-titled boardgame from Scholar Venture. They now make card games (Pimps & Hos, You Go to Hell!, Who Really Has The Huevos?). As far as # of players, I'm not quite sure what "Up to 6 teams of 2 or 3" means, so I am entering 4-18, which is my interpretation. 2002 Mensa nominee for best mind game.

Only questions that the so-called omniscient game master can answer with yes or no are allowed; in the case of irrelevant or unanswerable questions, they can demand a reformulation and...
