Yeah, my mum has a cool story. Basically her and her sister were playing with it in her house, and her father had died the year before. Only my mum and her sister (yeah I know it defies the three person requirement, but so it was). They asked the board some simple questions, then one about their dad, and the pointer literally was SHOT out of their hands and crashed into the china cabinet. They both swear up and down that they did not do that, and my mum described the force as so very intense, like a gunshot.
I love my mum’s stories. I tend to hold back my cynical science loving side to simply enjoy them for what they are. I’ve also played with the board, and I also know that it’s totally fake. But it’s still a hoot, double that once you’ve had a cup of wine or two. Much better than Twister.
