The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Gusset Login - No
Gusset Login - No
all - No

Gusset Login - YES
From the planet Mars; Olympus Mons it is. Three times the size of Everest the highest known volcano.

Cheers and applause rage from the audience.
Hmmm
Saying it isn't a mountain was a bit dubious.
OK Boys, girls and indeterminates this time the item is ABSTRACT
OK, is it an emotion?
Is it a phrase or saying?
INJ] Gusset Login asked whether it was a mountain on move 7. If I had said yes it is almost certain that Tuj would not have enquired about whether it was a volcano a few moves later on. Olympus Mons itself is classed as a shield volcano similar to those in Hawaii and not a mountain even though it is no longer active.
Wherever possible I try to give unambiguous yes or no answers, some will a clarification tied in with a hint or clue.
[Snodgrass] No
[Inkspot] Not really
Does it have to do with the law?
[Raak] No
Are we searching for an idea, a thought?
