Guess That Card

[rhox1000]

hi all i have noticed that on tcgplayer we dont seem to have a magic card" guessing game" like they have on other sites so I thought I would try to run 1 on here with some small modifications so as not to pinch ideas from other peeps.

Basic rules are as follows the person who is "it" thinks of a card.

Then on the first "turn" they are allowed to give 2 clues to start with, but thereafter only 1 clue must be given.

The number of total turns per card must not exceed 15 and all questions within reason can be accepted.

Some examples of questions could be
is it in extended?
does it start with A to G?
is it's power greater than 3?

I think you get the general idea of things.

Something along these lines should work quite well but as time goes by if any of you thought that something needed improving then by all means PM me.

I will try to monitor the forum as much as I can to save a "build-up" of answers as this can be a bit unfair on some peeps.

Also whoever wins MUST post a new card within 24 Hours or I will have to start a new 1 off myself.
Good Luck :-)


OK i will make a start

Clue1 the card is Green.
Clue2 the card name is between S to Z.

[Bosty]

Is it a creature?

[rhox1000]

Yes, it IS a Creature

Points to go 14.

[Hookhand]

Was it first printed in a set after 2000?

[Rakavolver]

Is it Tarmogoyf?

[rhox1000]

No, it was NOT printed after 2000

No, it is NOT Tarmogoyf

Points to go 12.

[Rakavolver]

So so far we have:

Clue1 the card is Green.
Clue2 the card name is between S to Z. (so it's between T and Y, inclusive)
Clue3 is it's a Creature
Clue4 is it was printed 1992-2000 inclusive, but NOT after that, meaning no reprints after 2000.

The Hell why not just make it 20 questions then we'd have 3 questions down 17 to go. But OK feh thems not your savage rules, and I officially hate myself for guessing a single card which I strongly suggest nobody else do.

Fun game, thnx. Good luck, all.
