- Why is a question not available to me OR why can't I back out of this question?
ANS: Questions are released by the lead player of the game, so if the leader of the board has not selected the question yet, it will not be available to anyone else. If you are the leader of the board, you cannot back out of a question....you either answer it, or get passed by another player.
