In this game, players guess the syllogism by looking at the three emoji posted by the previous player. Let’s say the three emoji are the following: * * * πŸ‘Ή πŸ’ˆ πŸ˜€ * * * I can guess that the syllogism is the following: _Men with disheveled hair look bad._ _I’ve just had my hair cut._ _I no longer look bad._ Or something like that. * * * After writing their guess, everybody is supposed to post the next three emoji for the next player to come up with a syllogism. I will post the first triad: πŸ‘₯ 🏒 😢 ---
