- The game proceeds by rounds. At the start of each round, X is some mystery individual. A round begins by the latest winner (or me for the first round) attributing one property to X. Ex:
X is dead.
or
X is in my car.
or
X is a dead president of the USA.
- A property must apply to more than one individual. An individual is not a property. Ex:
X is a suspension bridge that opened in 1937 and spans the Golden Gate.
and
X is the first president of the USA
are not allowed because they only apply to one individual: The Golden Gate Bridge and George Washington, respecitvely.
- Each property added must narrow the current possible candidates for X. Ex:
Adding
X is dead
to the list of properties
X is a president of the USA.
X was born before 1800.
is not allowed because it doesn't narrow the possibilities (all presidents of the USA born before 1800 are dead).
- Some X having all of the properties listed must actually exist (be it real or fictional). Figments of your imagination do not count- you can't just make things up.
- A round ends when the list of properties applies to only one individual, or no one has added another property to the list for 2 hours. The last person to add a property to the list is the winner. Ex.
Round 1
Tom: X is dead.
Dick: X was a president of the USA.
Harry: X was born in 1732. This ends the round- the list of properties applies to one individual: George Washington.
Round 2
Harry: X is red.
Dick: X was opened in 1937.
Harry: X is a suspension bridge in California.
etc.
- So that's it- you just keep building a list of properties until the list applies to one individual. That should cover it. I think it could get interesting if you choose the properties wisely. I'll start.
X is a prime number less than 5.
X is dead.

X is in my car.
