Pulp Fiction Guess Who is a take on the classic board game you absolutely do not want to play with your kids.
Joe Stone is a freelance graphic designer and illustrator who created a custom version of the game Guess Who for his friend's birthday. Stone's version of Guess Who is designed after the 1994 cult film Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino. Stone painstakingly rendered the characters from the movie and took special care to notice the features of every character like Jules, Mia, Winston, Vincent, Marcellus and of course, the Gimp. This Pulp Fiction board game actually works and even comes packaged in the Marcellus Wallace's suitcase from the film.
The care and attention Joe put into this Pulp Fiction Guess Who almost had me convinced this was a real item.
