It then uses his hand to wipe the smile off his face and throw it to another player who has to catch the smile with his hand and put it on.

  2. This new It can then wipe off the smile to throw to someone else -- though he will probably choose to mug wildly at everyone for a few minutes before relinquishing his happy role. Meanwhile, all other players must sit stone-faced. One smirk and they're out.

Tips:
