Dad Jokes Guessing Game
The game is for 2 players. Each player takes a joke card and folds it
so that the Hints and Answer can't be seen by the other player.
Player 1 shows Player 2 the joke on the card. Player 2 tries to guess the answer
by circling one of the letters in boxes. For example, by circling the letter E.
Player 1 lifts the card to check the answer and fills in ALL the blanks (_) that contain an E in the answer.
Check this carefully, so that no E's are missed!
If there are no E's at all in the answer, Player 1 darkens one part of the light gray Dad figure.
The parts are darkened in the order:
Head circle
Body line
One arm
Other arm
One leg
Other leg
One eye
Other eye
Smile
Player 1 also reads a hint, if there are any left, and checks it off.
Player 2 loses if the Smile is darkened and the Dad figure is complete. Player 1 keeps that joke card.
Player 1 then crosses out the guessed letter in the letter list.
If the blanks are completely filled in with the joke's answer,
Player 2 is a winner and takes the joke card. If not, Player 2 guesses another letter by circling it.
