Car games revisted

Ok, here's a new car game you can play with loved ones. Or even the not so loved ones. Pretty much just anyone you're in the car with. The number of players doesn't matter, you just cycle through with each person taking a turn.

The object is to guess what's on the next radio station you flip to. The more specific you are, the more points you get. You have to decide if it's going to be programming or a commercial (1 pt). If you say programming you can say talking or music (2 pts) and then from there you can specify if it's a male or female doing the singing or talking (3 pts). If you say music, you can pick instrumental for another 3pts. You can stop anywhere in the process for less points.

Here's a for instance.

Player 1, we'll call him Axel Foley, is up and he says the next station will be in programming and it will be music. But he doesn't specify the gender (because he doesn't have to) so the maximum amount of points he could get is 3. But if any part of the equation is wrong, he gets none.

Player 2 just says it will be a commercial. He's right and gets 1 point. Now he could have said it will be a commercial for a product or a service (2 points) and if the speaker would be male or female (3 points). Again, one part of the equation being incorrect means 0 points.

And so on and so on. You just cycle through the stations using the seek function (which means you should remember the format of each station if you don't already know it) and before you seek for the next one, the person whose turn it is makes their selection.

Confused? Don't be. I think once you all start doing it like a secret cult it will get a lot easier and make more sense. Who said anything about a cult?
