Title: The Game of Shiritori
Post by: tenkenX6 on April 09, 2008, 11:43:01 am
OK, so I'm bored.  Which leads me to do random stuff like this. :D In this thread, we will be playing a Japanese word game called "Shiritori".  In this game, the players will say a new word that starts with the previous words last "kana" (i.e. - the word "sakura". The "ra" part is the final kana.).  The rules are quite simple.  They go like this:

1) Only nouns can be used.

2) Words may not be repeated.

3) A person who uses a word that ends with the kana "N" automatically loses, since there are no words that begin with that kana.

A more detailed explanation of the game can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiritori (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiritori) .  Unfortunately, if you don't know Japanese very well or not at all, this game most likely will not work out for you. ;) Make sure to either make the last kana bold, change the color, add quotation marks or etc, so people don't get confused and/or things don't get mixed up.  Well, since I started this thread, I'll go first.....

Since time doesn't really factor into the game when playing it over a forum, might I suggest an extra rule?  That being that each ending can only be used once.  So, for example, after 'negai' came out, 'noroi' would be a failure.

Although, that would make things more tricky, I think we should keep going like it has been.  I think this thread will make it easier and less stressful for people learning or brushing up on their Japanese, if we keep the rules more simple/open-ended.  ;)

Anyways, on to the game......

Well then, join in on the fun, Mamo.  :P

Someone else has to go, since I was the last one to post a word.

Wow...
 
I haven't seen the  "1) Only nouns can be used." rule at other places I've played this game. That's in the normal game?

And with 9 pages of posts, the "can not be repeated" rule becomes kinda hard to manage  :P

Yeah, I know, but you said back then that the thread should be resurrected. Since no one else bothered to take action, I did.  ;)

As far as I know, the "only nouns can be used" rule is one of the basic rules for the normal game. I think the other shiritori games you have seen elsewhere were bending the rules in one way or another.  ;)

Nah, just 9 pages of posts is nothing. You just have to use your imagination and be creative.  ;D
