Isn’t this game getting out of hand? On another of my forums this game is played by everyone trying to guess the first one and not moving on until somebody has got it right, they then provide the next one.If nobody is guessing right the OP or next in line gives further clues to it.This stops all the many guesses and new questions and keeps the game on point.
Just saying 😄
