    Seems pretty obvious: it’s the person under the bench who is the gollum (?). Not sure they thought this through.

      The game is to try and pretend you don’t have a finger up your ass (if the gollum has their finger up your ass). Then everyone takes turns looking around and figuring out who actually has a finger up their ass, so they call the bluff of the person who is pretending to not have a finger up their ass.

      If you guess correctly, you get to be the gollum whom is immune to having a finger up their ass.

        The real game is to guess wrongly. Nobody wants a stinky finger.

        Anyway, the game is broken because whoever has a finger in their asshole has probably noticed and is able to guess right or wrong depending on taste.

        It doesn’t work with mixed genders either. Nobody is going to poke uncle Juha when stepsister Aino is also there.

        So, it’s not much of game, but just a regular gay time.

        Wait…

        I was following up until this point.

        I thought the point of being the gollum was you get to put your finger in someone’s ass, not that you don’t get to have one in yours

          That would certainly make sense, yes. I admit my information may not be 100% accurate, maybe we should get some hands-on experience

      They have to guess which one of them has the gollums finger up their ass, not who is fingering ass

        Oh, I’ve never played before so I didn’t get the rules. I was thinking the person with the finger had to guess whose finger it was…

      Gollum puts his finger in the ass of the victim and tries to make them squirm. Then everyone tries to guess who the victim is by going one at a time, in order. If they guess correctly Gollum wins and goes again, if they guess wrong then the victim wins and becomes Gollum. There is strategy in who you pick if you’re Gollum, if you pick someone too early in the order they might be able to hold their composure. If your pick someone too late then people have more chances to guess the wrong person before they get to the victim.

      It’s a lot like Among Us except everyone is naked and one of the crewmates has a finger in his ass.

      Idk if you didn’t get it or are insinuating that it’s just OP fingering his asshole alone

    My contribution to the discussion is that the Greek phrase for “(in) my ass”, if said in a hasty/hillbilly way, sounds pretty similar to Gollum. Might even call in to question the true nationality of this game’s visionary inventor.

    And I thought they had weird pranks here in Japan.

    I’m kind of curious as to how the hobbit and lord of the rings were translated into Finnish now
