Here are a few simple games that could be played at jbonunsla. A few of 
these have been play-tested during various Mumble sessions or on IRC, 
and some I semi-invented for jbonunsla.


la re no preti (20 Questions)

One person thinks of an object, and the other people have twenty yes/no 
questions to guess what it is.


xanri ko (Imagine!)

Very open-ended game. One player starts by imagining something out loud. 
Then the next person adds to the imaginary situation with whatever they 
like. Then the next person does the same, and so on. This is basically a 
freeform story-building game.


palci zei ze (Evil Seven)

This is a fun counting game and can become very exciting when played 
quickly. The first player starts counting at 1, then the next player 
says 2, the next says 3, and so on. Any time a number that contains the 
digit 7 or is divisible by 7 comes up, you have to say {.o'i} instead, 
and the direction of play is reversed (if it was clockwise before, then 
it changes to counter-clockwise). When a player makes a mistake (either 
by counting incorrectly, or by uttering a number containing 7 or 
divisible by 7) then that player gets removed from the round, and the 
remaining players start at 1 again. The last player remaining wins.


valsi lerfu jufra (Word Letter Phrases)

One person names a random Lojban word and then everyone tries to create 
a Lojban sentence with the same number of words as the random Lojban 
word has letters, and each word has to contain the corresponding letter. 
For example, MAMTA could become "Mi nA Ta'o nAi".
Whoever is done yells {mulno} or {mo'u}. The first one to finish reads 
out their solution and then chooses the next random word. Extra points 
are awarded for sentences that make sense or are funny.


A word chaining game whose name I don't recall

The first person names any gismu. Then the next person has to name 
another gismu that begins with the same letters that the previous gismu 
ended with, and so on. For example a round could go like this: gismu -> 
smuni -> nibli -> bliku -> kufra -> frati ...
If desired, the game can be extended to include lujvo and zi'evla.


lo broda cu mo (Paraphrasing game)

This game can be played either as a team game or more casually in a 
circle. The idea is to define or paraphrase a word without saying the 
word itself, and the other people have to guess the word. In the team 
version, the players first have to be divided into two teams, and then 
it works like the game Taboo (or Hot Seat). If the word is guessed 
correctly the paraphraser gets a point.
Here is an example of a possible paraphrase:
{lo broda cu rirni gi'e ninmu} -> answer: {mamta}.


ni'o .a'o ba zdile lo zvati

mi'e la selpa'i mu'o
