Words ending in ç :cool:

It'd be fun to play shiritori in English, but there's really no way to win or lose aside from having time limits or whenever people decide they're bored of playing. :p

yeah, that was probably why we had a theme.

allemange
etats unis
suisse
estonie

and then our geography gave out.

You people actually know wtf that is? :Oo:

Yeah. It's a game where someone starts with a word, then someone says a word that starts with the last letter of that word, and continues until you can no longer do so. Basically, a word-chaining game. In Japanese, there are no words that start with the 'n' syllable, so if you can manage to end a word with it, you lose. Since we don't have that issue in English and many other languages, it's kind of hard to play. :P

Wait, you lose if the other person can't say a word?

The goal is to keep the chain going! And no, you lose when you make it so the next person can't say a word, not that they can't come up with it on their own.

Lol, that's what I meant. Man, that's a ridiculous game.

your alternative is actually easier, though, NCG!

Well, it would have more a point.

Well, it's a cooperative game, not a competitive one. Then again, you could always tweak the rules!

The point is to not say a word that ends with n'. It's like being stuck with the Old Maid.

don't you get it

I get the premise, it's just dumb. It's like cross country, it's running for running's sake.

The game should have a logical conclusion that both people are actively trying to reach.
