What is Guess Who??

Guess Who? is a two-player deduction game invented in 1979. Each player draws a card with one of 24 cartoon faces and stands their character board upright. Players take turns asking yes/no questions about the other's mystery character ('Do they have brown hair?'), flipping down eliminated faces on their own board. First to correctly identify the opponent's character wins.
