[edit] Carnelli

This is apparently a popular game at meets of the Metropolitan Washington chapter of MENSA, which numbers some 2,000 people. An accompanying photograph shows the game being played by perhaps a dozen people. Its cultural significance beyond being a nice little parlor game played by a fairly small group of people in one city in one country one one continent is unexplored. I suggest that we either find such significance or delete this article. --Tony Sidaway 14:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: It's not just in one chapter of Mensa; it's regularly played at national-level Annual Gatherings, and in fact the picture there (which I took) was at such a gathering, with participants from all around the country (and perhaps other countries; there were some foreign Mensans at the gathering too). *Dan T.* 14:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

  I've added a couple of references indicating its presence at both a national Mensa gathering and a science fiction convention. *Dan T.* 16:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep, sourcing may be an issue, but this is definitely more widespread than the nom suggests. I've run into it at a sci-fi con, for example. --Dhartung | Talk 16:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

  In reply to both above comments, thanks for the corroboration. However our only reliable source to date is the Washington Metropolitan Area chapter of MENSA. With respect to article content, some improvement on that score would be welcome. --Tony Sidaway 16:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
