Guess the Bolognese
Our personal version of the famous game Guess who? where all the characters are popular people connected to the city of Bologna.
how to play
The game is played between two players: each has this board with 24 characters that represent famous people linked to the city of Bologna, identified only by their first names.
Each player draws a figure, which must remain hidden from his opponent. The aim of the game is to be the first to guess the other’s secret character, through Yes/No questions over several turns, until all but one of the figures are eliminated.

Playing in presence?
Print a third copy of the board, cut out the figures and create a deck of cards from which you'll draw one character each.
the board
This board is a simple A4 sheet, easy to print at home, and can be used in different ways:
- You can print it, cut each figure on 3 sides following the guides (do not cut the base) and use it as a real Guess who? board, by closing the boxes as you exclude the characters.
You can print it and use it in an easier way: by crossing out with a pencil the characters you discard.
- If you'd prefer not to print it you can use it directly on your screen.
