Talk:Botticelli (game)

Confusing
You think you could make these directions are little more confusing? Good thing it's linked to the Berkeley site or no one would be able to figure it out -- even Harvard grads who have played the game.

 * We could definitely learn something from the Berkeley write-up, if only to include a "basic summary" near the top of the article. And some example game dialogue would definitely be useful. I'll get onto this when I've got a little more time; this is definitely a game that more people should understand and play. --McGeddon (talk) 08:43, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Indirect, Section 2 -- error?
In Indirect, section 2 -- the parenthesized bit (If guesser was thinking of the chooser's person, then the guesser wins) makes no sense; if the chooser has answered "No" regarding the quality the guesser asked about, how could the guesser have been thinking about the chooser's choice? I guess one of them could be wrong, but that seems like an improbable situation. One imagines a chooser would pick, and a guesser would ask about, somebody they know a decent amount about.

Stumping
Am I misreading something, or is the "stumping" variant the same as the base game, only using the term "stumping" instead of "direct/indirect"? --McGeddon (talk) 08:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I think the only difference between the two is that stumping can be any trivia and indirect mode can't. Eatmark (talk) 04:11, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Eatmark

How old is this game?
Does anyone know what the earliest attested appearance of this game is? I've read that it was "popular in the 60s and 70s" and the earliest mention in the pop culture section is the 1960s, but is that the time when it was first created? Does anyone know where or who created it? Andrew Keenan Richardson (talk!) 04:12, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Opposite game
What's called the opposite version of the game? Where each person has a character in their foreheads (unknown for them) and each must guess their character. (Check "Inglorious Basterds" tavern scene). It would be nice if it was referenced in this article. (I know it as "Marie Antoinette" but I cannot verify the source).
