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.

yeah, that was probably why we had a theme.
allemange
etats unis
suisse
estonie
and then our geography gave out.

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. Originally Posted by NorthernChaosGod

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.
