One I know as word popcorn, where you say the first word that comes to mind, no matter what it is. It is designed to break down self- censorship. The other I know as Word at a time, where each person says one word around the circle trying to tell a cohesive story. A variation of that game is a counting game, where as a group, with no pattern or clues, you try as a group to monotonically count to 20. If a number is repeated (say two people say '2') or a pattern developers (like the count going clockwise around the circle) you start over at 1 and try again. For your game, sufficiently clever players would need to ban use of the word 'si'! -Alan On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 07:20:11PM -0600, Jonathan Jones wrote: > I recently came up with a very simple game that my friends find highly > addictive - we've been playing it in English, but I'm willing to bet it'd > be just as fun in Lojban too. > > The rules of the game are simple: Get a bunch of people together, the more > the better, and make a sentence.
