What's A Game?

Postby poorpete » Fri Apr 28, 2017 1:42 pm

Created this game a few years ago. I keep tweaking it. My daughter likes it. It's made for two players but like to see how it works for multiple players.

Posts go in this order:

1. Definition, eg. "A game is something to play with friends" (ideally this is a leading answer)
2. Similarity, eg "You mean like basketball?"
3. What's That?, in this case "What's basketball?"

Repeat: definition, similarity, question... The goal is to be creative, amusing, and keep the game moving.

I'll start:
********************************************

Basketball is where you throw things up with the air.

Wash: "This is gonna get pretty interesting."
Mal: "Define interesting."
Wash: "Oh, God, oh, God, we're all gonna die?"

Lawn darts is a competition where you might stab your opponents.

A knife fight uses sharp objects.

You mean like competition cooking?

A type of show that was imported from Japan in which failure leads to shame upon you and your family.

A foreign import that becomes mostly incomprehensible when reimagined for an American audience.
