Yay! A Surrealist Game! Involving George W.!

Analogy Cards

Rules:

As large a group of players as possible.

This game is a more complex version of the game "Portraits," in which one player assumes the identity of a famous person and the others must guess who it is by asking questions such as: "What mineral are you?" or "What animal are you?" In Analogy Cards, the situation is reversed: the identity of the person is known, having been chosen before the game begins. The aim of the game is to arrive at a portrait of this chosen person based on the categories which feature on passports or identity cards. These categories, which describe the person's attributes, are given in the form of various animals, objects, etc.

Remember, because this is a surrealist game, it is to be played as quickly as possible without the unwanted visitors logic, reason, or consciousness.

The categories of the card, and the equivalent objects or events into which they are to be translated, are a constant of the game. They consist of the following:

Photograph: an animal
Father and Mother: born of the union of
Place of Birth: a geographical location
Date of Birth: a historical event

The above is taken nearly word for word from Alastair Brotchie and Mel Gooding's A Book of Surrealist Games.
