Who's Closest

[H a m e e d]

Hello friends. I decided to create a new thread containing another guessing word game called "Who's Closest"
I didn't find much instructions about its gameplay on the web, yet I quote what WikiPedia explained:

"Who's closest is a guessing game, often played at parties or on long journeys because it requires no board or other materials.


Play starts with one player thinking a random thought. The rest of the players then take turns trying to guess what the speaker is thinking of. Once everyone has guessed the thinker reveals the actual thought and everyone takes it in turns to justify why they were closest. The thinker decides who was closest and that person becomes the next thinker.

The ruling of the thinker is often heavily influenced by how humorous the justifications were. Unless a particular guess was very good, the decision is based mainly on how funny the justification was"

Unfortunately I couldn't find any example of this steps. Now I translate the paragraph 2 & 3 of that quote into farsi:

بازی با بازیکنی شروع میشه که یه فکر اتفاقی رو از سر میگذرونه. سپس بقیه بازیکنان یکی پس از دیگری تلاش میکنن تا اون چیزی که شروع کننده بازی داره بهش فکر میکنه رو حدس بزنن. یک وقتی که هرکس حدس خودشو زد "متفکر" فکر واقعی رو برملا میکنه و هرکدام از بقیه ها یکی پس از دیگری اینکه به چه علت [به تفکر اولی] نزدیک شدن رو توجیه میکنن. "متفکر" تصمیم میگیره که چه کسی از همه [به جواب] نزدیکتر شد و همون شخص "متفکر" بعدی میشه.[و بازی ادامه پیدا میکنه...]
حکمرانی در این بازی اغلب بشدت تحت تاثیر اینه که توجیه ها تا چه حد فکاهی بوده. تصمیم ها عمدتا بر پایه فکاهی بودن توجیه هاست، مگر اینکه حدس خاصی خیلی خوب باشه.

Sorry for "not good enough" translation.If there is any problem in my translation, please correct it. I didn't make an exact and word-by-word translation.
I prefer not to start this game myself, and after the honorable moderator and other members of the English forum perused the thread, I will take part. Thanks.

If i get the point
We Should Think about a word
Then the other players start guessing what we are thinking about
Then we'll tell them
after that Players should make a relation between the word that we thinking about and the word that they
guessed
Is That Right ?

yes. it is, but I am not convinced why the guesses should be humorous.I think they can be serious because here it's not the same condition as a party or a long journey.
