Shiritori [Word Train Game]
 
Shiritori


Here's Wikipedia's entry for Shiritori:

Quote:

Shiritori (しりとり) is a Japanese word game in which the players are required to say a word which begins with the final kana of the previous word. No distinction is made between hiragana, katakana or kanji. "Shiritori" literally means "taking the buttocks" or "taking the end".
We'll have to alter the rules a bit for the English version :3
Shiritori is a game where you say a word, and the next person has to say a word whose first sound is the last sound of your word.

English has some weird sounds, so we might have a few challenges here or there, but that's what Fun and Games is all about!

Example:
Quote:

Person 1: Apple
Person 2: Please
Person 3: Easy
Person 4: Xeno
I'll make one rule: You can't say a word that is the last sound of the previous word.
Example:
Quote:

Person 1: Northern
Person 2: Urn
New rule: Words must be at least two syllables long.

Also, making a word plural will almost always make the next word harder, so consider that when writing your word. :)



So, I'll start with Corner.

Nerd.

I am definitely a nerd.

Urdu.

An Indianesque language.

Doofus

Akiba May 31st, 2014 1:42 PM

Fussy.

An adjective that describes most small children.

☆Rei☆ May 31st, 2014 1:44 PM

seems.

it seems as if your description is accurate.

Akiba May 31st, 2014 1:45 PM

Eames Chair.

There are tons of these in my mother's office.

Oryx May 31st, 2014 1:46 PM

Charity.

Actually kind of a pretty name!

☆Rei☆ May 31st, 2014 1:46 PM

Hair

I have hair. (I think)


I have been ninja'd.

Yato May 31st, 2014 1:47 PM

Arial.

A font you'll be able to use just about anywhere that allows fonts.

Damn, ninja'd twice.


Teeth.

Since I guess I'm continuing from "Charity" XD

Hi Zach.

☆Rei☆ May 31st, 2014 2:09 PM

check

double check your list.

Oryx May 31st, 2014 2:28 PM

Crazy.

It might be easier with two syllables instead of one all the time...

☆Rei☆ May 31st, 2014 2:38 PM

xenomorph

By far my favorite Si-Fi creature. xD

Yato May 31st, 2014 3:06 PM

Ghoti

The "gh" = "f" (or "ph", the last sound in "xenomorph"), the "o" = "i", and the "ti" = "sh". So in other words:

Fish.

machomuu May 31st, 2014 3:16 PM

Isshin

That means...something. It's Japanese, though I'm not 100% on what it means.

Also, xeno is actually a soft "e", like you would see in "Ed" or "Elephant". At least, that's how dictionaries have it.

☆Rei☆ May 31st, 2014 3:17 PM

issue

I would like to issue the rule of where the words must be at least 2 syllables long.

machomuu May 31st, 2014 3:23 PM

shoehorn

I think that's a good rule, too.

Also, regarding issue, that would actually refer to the first syllable of Isshin. The second syllable would be Sheen (or In, pronounced (E n)).

☆Rei☆ May 31st, 2014 3:30 PM

Ornament

Sorry, I just noticed that you ninja'd me otherwise I would've corrected it. xD

and as for Xenomorph, I pronounce it differently because that's how everyone around me pronounce it.

Oryx May 31st, 2014 3:44 PM

Mentor

I pronounce it with a long e, I've never heard it any other way.

Akiba May 31st, 2014 3:45 PM

An acolyte is an attendant.

One thing to worry about when doing 3D graphics.
