Games we play within the forum itself. If you find a neat game on the web, I would place that post under “Resources and Reviews”

Since there's gusto for this game I'll post it here. 
Rules are easy. I have a card that has twenty clues to describe something, someone or somewhere. It's your job to guess what it is.
Alright, let's try. Oefening baart kunst! / Practise makes perfect!
Ergens / Somewhere
Clue: ik werd begraven door een ontploffing / I was burried by an explosion
Als je meer clues nodig hebt moet je het zeggen! / If you need more clues you'll have to tell!

Is het misschien de stad "Pompeii" die door de eruptie van de vulkan "Vesuvius" begraven was?
Is it possibly the city of Pompeii which was buried by the eruption of the volcano "Vesuvius"?
Met hulp van LaPingvino:

eruptie: meestal zeggen wij "uitbarsting". De vulkaan barst uit...

Is het misschiem een citroen of niet soms?
Is it possibly a lemon or am I mistaken?
Citroën = French Auto
Groetjes
In America we call an auto with a very bad repair history "a lemon".
It is interesting that a Citroën is an automobile.
