Don't worry, the idea behind the game is to translate a sentence as accurate as possible. It's a way to practice English for all users of this forum (or at least the three of us).

1) The game may be for more players, but only two are actually playing
2) Both players know themselves and refer to themselves as "we"
Okay, you might be right here...
m0skit0 escribió:PD: also, it should be "is this a 2-players game?"
You're are absolutely right here ...it should have been "Is this a two-players game?" although I've heard this structure in spoken English
m0skit0 escribió:D: I just understood that "town expired" joke
hahahaha
PS: By the way, in English "PD" is translated to "PS" or P.S. meaning "Post Script".

Google's translate says:
Babel fish's translation is worse in this case:
I know they're machine translators...but I just wanted to check it out.

I agree, but that's when you affirm something and just want confirmation. E.g. "This is it?" when you're almost sure it is.

OK, just like in french, because PD in french refers to a fag
