It's a trivia game based on urban legends we've all heard of and or familiar with such as the alligator in the NYC sewer or Al Capone was the 1st American to make M a year. The board is divided into 4 city block with a starting point in the middle. The game rules want you to start the game with the youngest person and go left from there.
In our house we flip a coin for who goes first and go clockwise from there, and of course the winner of that round starts the next game. The Reader picks one card from the deck remember to shuffle the cards and announces the category then only reads the statement. Everyone else puts the voting card on the table with the response side of your choice facing up. The trick to all this is you have to keep your response secret from the other players, so, we just put our hands on top of the cards till it was time to show.
The Reader makes everyone show their cards and reads the answer along with the fact. The players who get a correct answer can move to one spot into any of the four city blocks clockwise or if no one gets a correct answer, the reader can keep the card if his token is in that category square and he gets to move the amount of spaces for each player playing.
The player to the left repeats the process as the reader and continues till the games ends. Now, in order to win you have spell out M-Y-T-H or T-R-U-E which may seem easy but it all comes down to paying attention to where you game piece is and what category is being read on the card.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2 's Shiverburn Galaxy, there is a certain point where you can look up at the mountain range, and if you look hard enough, you'll see 3 small, ambiguously creepy silhouettes looming over the cliff, staring down at you.
Apparently, one fan did some digging and found that the game's official files label these things as "Hell Valley Sky Trees," which sounds quite creepy for a Nintendo title. What's more bizarre is that Nintendo has made no comment regarding them, nor is their lore alluded to elsewhere in the game. Yes, even in the virtual realm of video games, the legend of Bigfoot lives - or at least when it comes to GTA: San Andreas. Terry Donovan, the co-founder of Rockstar Games, was quoted saying in this game "there is no Bigfoot, just like real life, but there is something in the woods While any visual proof of this creature can almost certainly be attributed to modders having a bit of fun, there have, in fact, been reports of virtual Bigfoot sightings from some gamers wandering the forests of the San Andreas countrysides at night.
He's usually only seen from a distance and flees when a player scrambles to get a closer look. This makes verification difficult, which only adds to the mysterious qualities of this legend. Nope, we're not talking about the Covenant's purple assault vehicles, but strange in-game ghostly Spartans online. There have been talks of some players of Halo 2, 3, and Reach 's online sessions seeing avatar manifestations popping up.
These odd avatars reportedly behave erratically, have no scoreboard or Gamertag identification, and can even attack a curious player if provoked. Still, it's quite eerie and gets the imagination churning. A gaming rendition of the movie Unfriended comes to mind While Blizzard eventually turned this myth into a reality with their bizarre cow levels in Diablo II and III , the origins of this urban legend can be traced back to the original game, which such a strange parallel universe only existed in the imagination of fans.
This rumor reached meme status with Blizzard often referring back to it, even using a StarCraft code, "there is no cow level.
One area of the original Diablo is populated by strange looking cows wielding axes. As the cows seemed to behave differently the more they were struck, some gamers speculated that if you hit the animals enough, it would open up a sort of parallel dimension to a realm populated entirely by them.
There are red flags throughout this title starring Mario's brother and sidekick that suggest something may not be quite right here. Aside from the ghostly themes, there are moments throughout hinting that this experience might be a sort of hallucination, nightmare, or even purgatory for Luigi. This is an oddly spooky experience coming from Nintendo You've got the fact that Luigi doesn't sport a shadow throughout, for one.
You've also got lapses in logic, such as a ringing phone inside a mansion that's clearly been zapped of any power source. There is even a scene in which a flash of lightning reveals an ominous hanging shadowy figure that resembles Luigi. Who would have thought such a light-hearted game containing cute little monsters could contain one of our most spooky gaming urban legends?
Supposedly, some Japanese kids who listened were driven to madness - or worse. While this is almost assuredly a myth, the unusually high-pitched frequencies of the tones can, and likely did at least cause some headaches if listened to loudly enough.
