Shiritori

Here's Wikipedia's entry for Shiritori:

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:

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:

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.

 

[☆Rei☆]

Nerd.

I am definitely a nerd.

 

[Akiba]

Urdu.

An Indianesque language.

 

[machomuu]

Doofus

 

[Akiba]

Fussy.

An adjective that describes most small children.

 

[☆Rei☆]

seems.

it seems as if your description is accurate.

 

[Akiba]

Eames Chair.

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

 

[Oryx]

Charity.

Actually kind of a pretty name!

 

[☆Rei☆]

Hair

I have hair. (I think)

I have been ninja'd.

 

[Yato]

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

 

[Akiba]

Thorn.

Ouch!

 

[☆Rei☆]

Ethan

Because I love pokemon G/S/C.

Ninja'd

cheese

 

[Akiba]

Zach.

Hi Zach.

 

[☆Rei☆]

check

double check your list.

 

[Oryx]

Crazy.

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

 

[☆Rei☆]

xenomorph

By far my favorite Si-Fi creature. xD

 

[Yato]

Ghoti

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

Fish.

 

[machomuu]

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☆]

issue

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

 

[machomuu]

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)).
