Well, that’s what Rob Searing (Insert Here) has done with the custom game insert for Karuba!

“Hey, how about we play The Game?”
“What game?”
“The Game?”
“Which game?”
“The Game!!”
“What are you talking about?”
If that sounds a lot like the Abbott and Costello gag about “Who’s on first?“, you’re not mistaken.

The game is played over 3 “Days” (rounds) and the same process is followed each round. The player with the most points after 3 rounds is the winner.
