Lexicant

Post by DragonTownEpic »

How to play:
The first player writes a letter on a sheet of paper. The players then take turns in adding a letter to the beginning or end of this stem to form part of a word, but avoiding actually completing a word. The first player forced to create a word loses.

Words only count if they are at least three letters long, so, for example, a player can make "IT" without losing. However, if the next payer adds "H" to make "HIT", they lose.

A key part of the game is that the player adding a letter can choose to bluff that they have a word in mind. The next player can then choose to challenge them to reveal their word. If they cannot name a word, the bluffer loses; otherwise the challenger loses.
