How to play
Set two identical boxes on a table, one with a carrot inside and one empty, and sit two volunteers either side. Only one player is allowed to open their box and look, and the other never sees inside either. The second player questions them, then chooses to keep their box or swap. Open both boxes, and whoever ends up with the carrot wins. All the fun is in the bluffing, so give the group room to heckle.
