Has anyone ever played a gamed called "The Peculiar Game?" It sounds so cute and fun, but I'm not really sure how to play it. It basically is a little poem, but has the women add points and take away points for various reasons...I'm guessing that the woman with the most points at the end wins a prize...but I wasn't sure if it was the person with the most or the least! Please let me know if anyone has played it. I can't seem to find any information on the Internet about it besides the poem itself.
I hope this is what you are looking for. Good luck with the planning.
Bridal Shower Game Peculiar Game This is a rather peculiar game It really does not have a name It's simple to play as a game should be You just do as you're told, you see So now if you'll please give me your attention We'll put an end to this suspension In the end, whoever scores the most Will receive a prize of which to boast Now since you're all fashionable girls Give yourself 5 if you have any pearls You may add 3 if your toes peek out And earrings will give you 2 more to shout Score yourself 5 if you show any red Add 6 more for a curl on your head Now before you think you are going to win Take away 2 for each safety pin Give yourself 6 if your pants are tight Add 1 for a scarf which is just about right Add 5 more if your shoes are black And take away 3 for a zipper in back Now count all your buttons, for each you get 2 And take away 1 for each button that's blue Give yourself 5 if your heels are high And why not take 10 for the green in your eye 10 more points for a rose on your clothes Take away 5 if you forgot to wear hose If your husband you kissed today - add 9 If you didn't subtract 12 - you're subject to fine This is the end...there isn't anymore Who is the lucky lady with the highest score?

Holly,
That's exactly the game I'm talking it about. It's too adorable! But, my question is, do you award the woman with the highest points? And do you read it quickly as to make it difficult to tally the points, or slowly so they can keep track and you know who the person with the highest number really is??
