Qene

One player composes a short rhyming verse that carries two meanings: an obvious surface message and a hidden deeper one.

The verse is recited aloud to the group exactly once.

Other players discuss and try to work out both the plain meaning and the concealed meaning within a set time.

The composer reveals whether any guesses correctly uncovered the hidden layer.

Whoever uncovers the hidden meaning first takes a turn composing the next riddle-verse for the group.
