+
+a frustrating game similar to "20 questions". best with 2 players.
+
+supplies needed: none
+
+**not yet playtested. estimated time, 1+ hours**
+
+written up by zachary "za3k" vance on 2022-02-25
+
+**how to play**
+1. one player is the Secret-Haver, and the other player is the Guesser.
+2. the Secret-Haver picks a secret the other people have to guess, like "cake". pick something really hard to guess, like "george washington's tenth birthday cake".
+3. the Guesser asks yes-or-no questions ("is it an animal?"), and the Secret-Haver answers them ("no")
+4. if the second player guesses the secret, they win.
+
+**credits**
+this game was probably designed by carl shulman (best guess) or anna salamon. it's explicitly designed to increase your frustration tolerance.
