Here's a game I just invented using just a map of the US.

One player takes a map of all the US states and colours it according to some arbitrary rule. The object of the game for the other players is to guess the arbitrary rule. The winner then follows up with his own rule and so on.

Here's an easy one to start you off:

Those are all the states whose names end in A.

Alas I am not somewhere where I can make a map, so:

AK
FL
HI
ME
RI
WA

States that are adjacent to no more than two states?

That one might be hard so I might give a little hint if people are having trouble with it.

If it's states that have a property vs states that don't have a property, knowing which group is which would be a good start! I'm drawing a blank right now.

Yeah, I think this is too hard. Hopefully this helps without giving it away: The postal codes (on the map) are relevant, the names of the states are not

Twistedarcher · « **Reply #8 on:** October 28, 2016, 07:45:10 pm »

Oh!

Red = shares a letter of the postal code with a neighboring state.

Postal codes that are actually words?

Twistedarcher · « **Reply #12 on:** October 29, 2016, 01:15:45 pm »

Yep, was a pretty easy one. Your turn!

Someone else can take a turn. I won't be by a computer for a while. Probably not until monday

My guess is it has something to do with vowels in the capitol cities

Kirian · « **Reply #17 on:** November 02, 2016, 06:16:04 pm »

Thanks TA!

Capitals are uninvolved.

Just noticed this thread still waiting for an answer to my problem.

Alas, I no longer remember the answer. Maybe one of us will figure it out!
