Word Game: Ghost

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.

Example

Round we go:

• Player 1: ‘a’
• P2: ‘b’

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.

• P3: ‘l’

Player 4 thinks ‘fuck, looks like I have to spell “able” and lose’, but then thinks again.

• P4: ‘a’
• P5: I challenge!
• P4: ‘ablative’

At this point, player 4 loses a point.
