All gather in a circle, the first player says “one” and chooses one of his neighbors who will have to say 2. So on, and if a player is wrong, he will have a pledge like drinking a sip of drink agreed by all.

The game is over once 21 is reached. Another variant, the first player starts with “one”, his left neighbor continues. And if someone is wrong, the game continues in the opposite direction.

To do this, the player asks questions to which the remaining players answer yes or no in turn. If the answer is yes, he can continue asking questions. And if the answer is no, he must give way to his neighbor who will in turn have to ask questions about his character. Whoever gets to know the identity on his forehead wins.
