Name the Game Game

Form Teams
Based on chocolate type you picked
You will answer questions about games as a
group
When it is your group’s turn, you choose
which type of question you want to answer
If you give an incorrect answer, any other
group can answer (first response wins; if a
group member answers incorrectly, group
cannot answer that question again)
Collect Points
Collect points if your team answers a question
correctly
We have two guest professors – you can call
on one of them “once” to help you answer a
question
