My favourite word-game is Ghost.
1. You go round in a circle, each person stating a letter, which builds to a word.
2. If someone completes a word of four or more letters, they lose.
3. If someone receives a set of letters which cannot complete a word, they can challenge the person before them.
* If the person before states a legal word, they lose.
* But if they state a word, then the challenger loses.
Round we go:
You might be thinking 'abacus', or 'ability', but we can't say where this is going yet. The next person can say any letter at all.
Player 4 thinks 'fuck, looks like I have to spell "able" and lose', but then thinks again.
At this point, player 4 loses a point.
