games

Here you go — one of our games from the other evening:

Here’s my usual reminder of how we play the game here at Ain’t Complicated:

1. Minimum word length: four letters
2. No plurals created by adding s
3. Maximum words per player per day: five
4. No time limit
5. Only what you can see

Item 5 means do not use online sources to generate words. This rule applies only for the first two days of the game.

Remember, please: Five words per player per day.

Need something constructive for your mind?

Oh, this is one of the “rolls of the dice” Ruby and Andrew and I played a night or three ago.

I was going to call this Caption Contest but changed my mind at the last minute. What I opted to use seems a little more unusual, but “contest” is what I have in mind.

Will this contest have any winners? No, not in the sense that I will pick one.

But see if you can lasso a good caption for the photo below.

Who knows, we might get an interesting round up going here! 🙄

It’s time for the next game!

Oh, this is one of the “rolls of the dice” Ruby and Andrew and I ended up playing last night played a few weeks ago.

Andrew, Ruby, and I just finished wading through this one a few minutes ago:

Here are the rules for this round:

1. Minimum word length: five letters
2. No plurals created by adding s
3. Maximum words per player per day: five
4. No time limit

Thanks!

Almost every evening, three of us (namely, Ruby, Andrew, and me) play several rounds of Boggle.

Last night we had this one:

How many words can you find that are five letters or longer? Read it all

I understand that thread finally locked up over at WorldMagBlog.

Perhaps this will work as a substitute for it.

Here are the rules:

• We’ll start off with the word loll.
• The first player should change one letter of loll and post it in the comment section.
• Subsequent players should work off the last word published in the comment section.
• You can’t add letters.
• You can’t use foreign (or foul!) languages.
• You can only change one letter.
• You can’t repeat a word already used.

Why loll as the starting word? Because that’s the last word used at WorldMagBlog. 🙂

Rule Update: Rearranging the order of existing letters does not constitute changing a letter.

Name Update: This is now Cyberian Scramble, but I’ll leave the post title the same.
