Topcho Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hello everyone! So, in this discussion a game was proposed - http://linguaholic.com/forum-suggestions-requests/game-section/ :grin: I hope you like it - the rules are pretty simple - it is just a guessing game. One member gives a few clues for a word and the next ones gives his answer along with a new question for the player to follow. Multiple answers are possible, as long as it fits the given description.For example:"It rhymes with a table but is not one of Aesop's works"To this the next player can answer with stable, or label or cable (I bet there are many others) and ask the next one. Rhyming is not necessary, I just used it here like a clue. You can point other things too to navigate the answer, like number of letters, if it is verb, noun, etc. As I said in the original topic, I liked playing this game (tho I never played in any other languages different from Bulgarian, because sometimes you can see unexpected but still correct guesses on the clues you've given.So I start the game:It rhymes with danger but is not always so dangerousSo don't you have your mind set, before you've even met.Sorry if my clues are little clumsy, maybe I should have waited till morning (it's past 1 am here ) but I got excited about this game. So you're welcome to jumo in the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 This sounds like a fun game. It rhymes with danger but is not always so dangerousSo don't you have your mind set, before you've even met.A stranger?A word meaning window covering or oblivious,Somewhat more obvious: A person who cannot see."

NatureSun Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Haha! Nice game. And the current one is so easy.Needle...nah joking it's Thread.This word rhymes with bed, and weed as well.It can be in a pencil, or help police with their investigation.The person who has this in a race, always wins. The person who has this in a group, has the most power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zambothegreat Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Is it "God"?On Christmas Eve, don't be negatively talkingIf you don't want to end up with this in your stockingThis might be one where I have to think in simpler terms, but I can't figure it out. I'm just going to guess "coal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
