I didn't say this game had no content at all, just not quite enough.  I 
agree that it's like Liar's Poker or Liar's Dice.  I think all three of 
them are a couple sandwiches short of a picnic.

I've played bluff and deduction games -- Clue, Sleuth, some others -- and I 
like that sort of game.  But CooperYoung is too thin; there's not enough 
there.  It's like a 100 Meter Dash is a competition, but it's not a game.

So here is my suggested CooperYoung variant, which I will call 
Hollywood:  Every move you have to go to a square a knight's move away from 
your last move.  You can go to a square that you or your opponent hit 
before, but obviously you won't win there.  You can even go to the square 
your opponent is on.
