Am I being dense?
(feddit.uk)
But do the categories (Animal, Vegetable, Mineral) just make no sense against the possibile answers?
The instructions for the game are at the top. A player picks a word from a card and the other player has to guess the word they've picked, starting by asking if it's an animal, vegetable or mineral.
Yeah, you can really stretch it for some of them although there are others that just flat out don't make sense. Also bear in mind this is a kids game!
On the first go, my son made a cutting action with his fingers and then told me I have to ask if it's an animal, vegetable or mineral, in which he replied mineral. So I was trying to think of a mineral that cuts. I asked if it was in the house in which he replied yes, and the only thing I could think of was salt.
Turns out the answer was scissors! The action was kind of obvious but the fact it was a mineral totally threw me.
