About Malarky

Very similar to Out of Context or any of the other find-the-real-answer games. A question card is selected by the reader (e.g. "Why does Mickey Mouse have 4 fingers"). On the back is the correct answer. That correct card is placed into a wallet and closed. Into all other wallets (identical) a bluff card has been placed. The wallets are shuffled and passed around the table. Then everyone reads their card. If they have the correct answer, they must read it.
