there are books but no paper. Probably everyone here has done this little game but it might be fun anyway just to see how many we can come up with. Just remember, keep the “solution” quiet because there’s always at least _one_ person who has never played before and will be fighting to figure it out 🙂 ---

you’re playing the right game **zimmdogg** don’t forget that everyone goes to Hell because there’s no Heaven and somehow everyone listens to jazz even though there’s no music:confused: ---

Well, **zimmdogg** , some people might just be passable. But nobody’s ugly. And the villas have attics but no basements. ---

In the valley, is gambling strictly forbidden, but betting allowed? If so, I’m betting that in the valley there are only winners – no losers. (And I’d guess that, like **Meros** , I don’t get to stay in the valley!) ---

Well, I can’t play. **UncleBeer** , **Manhattan** and **John Corrado** would be good moderators for your board, but I would be out of luck, I guess. ---

In the valley, there is a moon, but no sun or stars. And there are apples and cherries, but no oranges or grapes. I love this game! ---

it’s a good thing you don’t like sausage since you can’t have any of it. You can have cheese to your hearts content on it ---

There are apparently no explanations of this game in the valley, but might there be a linkety-link? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-the-valley-of-the-green-glass-doors/180734.md?page=2)
