Description
Answer questions with a question only.
Details
There are two players and each takes a turn asking a question. The answer must be in the form of question. The first person to not answer with a quesiton loses.
Here's an example of an incorrect answer:
How are you?
I'm fine. How are you?
Here's how it should be played:
How are you?
Why do you ask?
Is something wrong?
Did someone say something?
No.
another example:
Are you hungry?
How about you?
Is there a restaurant near here?
Haven't you been here before?
You lived here, didn't you?
No.
It's easy to cheat by just asking "why?" all the time, so try to keep it fun and changing. A rule to ask a question only once should solve any cheating. Also, answers should be related to the question and on topic.

Nice day isn't it?
You think so?
Don't you?
Isn't it going to rain?
Do you see any rain clouds?
Aren't those big grey things rain clouds?
What big grey things?
Those ones...gah! are you blind?
