How often a game gets played is determined not by the vocal proponents, but by the opponents.

(Compare this with Michael's "Let's convince Amy she likes what she hates" strategy)

I don't understand why Michael thinks he can convince me to play this game. It's not a bad game; it's just I've had my fill for the next one to two years. But for some reason, if Michael is present when Jeff and I show up, we always make six players. To Michael this means Celebrities must be played.

when there are multiple people around it's never played

I never saw a variant that was entirely satisfactory. Teams was closest, but even then ...

I used to like the five-player version where each played one color of the pentagon and went after their neighbors.

The one I've played most often was simply Free for All where you could attack anyone and everyone (you announce which creatures are attacking and *WHO* they are attacking).

I need to learn to play this - I've grown up playing cards and love trick-taking games, but have just never had anyone who knew how to play (who wasn't also 70 years old).
