I remember a Russian film called 4, which I've been able to find - it's from 2004 In the first half, some people in a bar play a lying-game. The wikipedia article isn't quite how I remember it - the idea is that you take it turns to tell a bigger lie than the person before. (And in the film the joke is the last person was telling the truth - they really have escaped from a Soviet cloning project.) My question is just does that game have a name? In any language Watching it, I had the sense it was like a familiar playground game that didn't need any set-up
