For reasons I’m not going to go into, I’m going to be running a game of Carnelli in a couple of months. The problem is, I’d only vaguely heard of it a couple of times, and I’ve never played it. I was wondering if anyone here’s familiar with it and, if you are, would you be willing to play a round or two. [Here’s the info on Wikipedia on the game.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnelli).

If there’s any interest in playing it, I’ll start a seperate thread for the game.

I’ve played it, but not in 15 years. Traditionally you start with a very long title.

I’ll start:

The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-moon Marigolds

I should really not post after my alarm clock’s awakened me earlier than it should. Save the above movie title for the new thread, when it’s created.
