Yes, No, Black, or Blue (a game)

A little word game invented by my friend, the Finn...

This is a conversation game.  The idea is that you and your friend or friends gather for dinner, or while on a walk, and as you do so, you try to trick the other person or persons into saying one of the forbidden words, while avoiding their subterfuges.  Or their overt schemes.

The rules are simple.

You must answer questions you are asked.
You cannot win without asking questions of your own.
You can't say "Yes", "No", "Black", or "Blue".
You can't say variations of "Yes" or "No", nor use gestures or nods for these.
You can say synonyms of "Black" or "Blue".
You can't say "Forbidden Words".
People who are out are allowed to still talk, but not ask questions.

When someone speaks an unmentionable word, you laugh at them, and point... and then move on to the next.  Be the last one standing.
