mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

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.

Mined?

I'm also new to the game, so some "words of one syllable" would be greatly appreciated.

(Inkspot, Kim) At Pants the seemingly accepted rules were: One question at a time: The answer has to be yes or no, but helpful hints were allowed: No limit to the length of the game; it goes on until someone gets the answer. Don't forget the original '50s rules in that Animal covers everything from a Siberian tiger to a pound of sausages or a leather jacket, though the last has some Mineral in it. Similarly Veg & Min.

Inkspot - in particular, yes. Kim - no.

Is it an item of jewellery?

Wol

Solid (at normal pressure/temperature)?

BTW - I hope it's OK to have more than one question 'open' at a time. Otherwise, this one might just take a lifetime ...
