![]() ![]() Whoever’s turn it is to guess who gave which answers pulls a card, picks which of the four questions on the card they want to use and reads that question aloud. Each person puts their name on their answer sheet. But we have modified it for a bigger crowd that is so much fun and unintimidating to people who don’t often play board games.įirst of all, we eliminate the board, using only the questions (and the answer sheets provided with the game). The object is to move along the board, correctly guessing who gave which answers to questions and being the first to answer the final question at the end of the board track. With over 500 questions in four different “fun” categories, Loaded Questions tests how well you know your fellow players or how well you can figure them out. The official game play says it’s suitable for 3 to 6 players and that would be true if you play the game as intended with the board and pieces. It’s called “Loaded Questions” and it’s a blast. ![]() To give a better example of how I understand a loaded question would be this: "do you think people should own guns?" With a response like so: "well, do you mean EVERYONE own a gun? Are these people trained, are some of them mentally ill? What kind of guns are we talking about and what people are we taking about?" The response would usually likely include the respondant as stating "thats a loaded question, because." Basically I feel like a loaded question is one that could incite a lot of different answers that perhaps the asker wasn't expecting.Many years ago I found a game that I purchased with the intent to gift to someone and ended up keeping for myself. I would give the example that it would be a loaded question because the child could respond in a number of ways, possibly in a controversial way. So using the first posters example of a parent asking a child "where were you last night?" I don't consider the parent as having an assumption behind their question. However, I understand a loaded question to be "loaded" on the answer side of things, not the question. So I agree with the explanations of leading questions. And they are always allowed when asking for basic information that does not support either side (such as, "your name is John Smith, right?" They are not allowed under "direct examination" (when interviewing a "friendly witness" who has been called to support the attorney's case).īut they are allowed under "cross examination" (where the witness has been called to court by the opposite side) and also when asked of "hostile witnesses" (a witness who might not have been called by the opposite side, but who is uncooperative in some way to the attorney's side). In the United States, this comes under Federal Rule of Evidence 611(c). This is because the question might manipulate the witness, or might influence the jury. In common-law jurisdictions, this kind of question is sometimes not allowed. "You ignored the stop sign, didn't you?" <- suggests the answer & supports the attorney's case. ![]() As others pointed out, a leading question is one which suggests an specific answer to support a case or defense, and in the legal context, it is also one which challenges someone's answer. In a legal context, there are rules about leading questions. ![]()
