Mr. Lister’s Quiz Shootout

drinks for correct answers

Mr. Lister has had it with irate gunslingers shooting his beautiful saloon to pieces and has invented a game for those trigger-happy guys, in which shootouts were dealt with by answering questions.

On player embodies Mr. Lister, die other players form teams of roughly identical sizes. Mr. Lister asks a question, for instance “what are the 12 things, that people forget most often in hotel rooms?”

Each team writes down answers, while Mr. Lister slowly counts up to 30. He then choses a team to begin giving answers, team members can confer about answers. When the answer given is mentioned on the card, the team remains in play and Mr. lister marks the answer as having been given. Teams continue to give answers in turn; if a team gives the wrong answer that is not on the card list, it must quit for the round. When the last team in play manages one more correct answer, it receives the card for a drink.

Should a team give an answer that is marked “golden answer” on the card, it is qualified for the shootout and can stop giving answers. When the team is the only one qualified for the shootout, it gets the drink card. If more than one team qualified for the shootout, Mr. Lister asks the shootout question, for which the answer is always a number. The team whose answer is closest to this number, receives the card. The team that collects three different drinks, wins the game.

This is a cute mixture of standard mechanisms as used in 20 Questions or “Pi mal Daumen”, using a fantastic mix of questions; the trick is to find a good mixture of knowledge and the risk of being to be too bold with answer when trying to achieve a golden answer.
