Card Sharks surveys
« on: December 09, 2009, 10:59:27 AM »
Hi folks, I'm looking at playing Card Sharks with a friend's class next week.  I've got some oversize playing cards, but I'm at a loss for surveys.  I've seen Feud survey "banks" online - does anyone know where I might get some CS specific ones?  I realize that I could use the FF ones but they tend not to be numerically balanced (ie. one that might have 80 as the answer).

Thanks in advance!

Ryan.

If you want to slog through the game play, there are questions here that the "host" claims were actually used on the show.  Short of that, if you're doing it for a class it doesn't sound like you need very many.  Several of us have the Endless Games home version and could probably shoot you enough to get by.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Also, if you download the old Card Sharks DOS game, the survey database file is readable in Notepad.

I can't seem to find it on the old abandonware site I used to download from, so I uploaded it here:

Made by Softie/Sharedata, the same company that made the old Classic Concentration DOS/C64 games. Great game, but you may need MoSlo in order for it to run.

Sign up with the site hunch.com. Some of the questions have more than two responses, and some won't be terribly interesting, but after you answer a question, the next screen says what percent of the poll group agreed with your answer.
