Spoof
Each player in a group places a secret number coins in their fist and places it on the table. All players try to guess the total number of coins.
How To Play
Step 1.
Players sit around a table and each is given 3 to 5 coins of any denomination.
Step 2.
All players put both hands behind their backs and place either none or any number of coins in one hand and then present their fist in front of them, not disclosing how many coins they hold. (Keep the other hand out of site)
Step 3.
Each player in turn then guesses how many coins there are in total in the whole group. No two players can guess the same number.
Step 4.
Once every player has stated their guess then all players open their hands and reveal their coins, which are counted.

The person who guesses the correct number wins a point. Of course, it's possible that nobody guessed correctly, in which case no points are awarded. Alternatively, the closest guess (could be two people, above and below) score a point
