No, of course you are not stupid!

I am sorry it is too much to take in/on (sad in not being exactly certain how it would work or be fun/interesting).

It is simpler than the "BP is..." game in many ways and can give us more insight. But it probably is no fun because the means to really know how valuable/valid your selection/cards are can only be determined in a later round.

There is no way to "just ask a question" in the same quick and controlled manner while finding optimal questions which are both surprising and meaningful.

However, it can be done by just asking questions and looking at the answers. It is just that a game element can make it more reliable, controlled/structured, valid and fun. It is very much a tool to analyse what we are actually writing in other threads. Like a way of storing all the great insights that tend to get lost very quickly.

I just failed miserably, I guess.

Thanks all the same, for trying to understand.

Anyone who does get it, you are very welcome to continue the game, but it probably is on life support.
