Q2.0 What is a ouija board? A ouija board is a game in which messages are supposedly communicated by the dead to or through the players of the game. [Note: some people consider the ouija to be "more than just a game," but it is marketed as a game, and for purposes of convenience it will be referred to here as a game.] The playing pieces consist of a game board (like a Monopoly board) and a pointer, called a planchette. The game board has all the letters of the alphabet written on it. The numbers 0-9 are also usually included, along with yes/no and hello/goodbye spaces. The layout of a typical board looks something like this: The pointer is made of plastic or glass, and either points to the letters with one end or has a clear window embedded in it through which one can view the letters. To play, two or more people lightly touch the pointer and concentrate on a question. The pointer will (hopefully) move and point to letters and numbers which will provide answers to your questions. Ouija boards are also known as "witch boards" and "talking boards." The nickname "ouiji" or "weejie" is also used quite a bit.
