Now you can legitimately include "Jedi" and "Klingon" in those late night, geeky, scrabble tournaments!

hmmmm ... but are they proper nouns? ;) could be an argument or two there. :p

Hmmmmm.......I thought it was "bass ackwards!" :rolleyes:

Anybody every play, what we call, "Fictionary!" You get one of the humongous dictionaries. Each person takes a turn finding a word that no one knows the meaning of...by asking.

The person who found the word writes the correct definition on a piece of paper. Then, everyone else makes up their own definition of the "unknown" word. All definitions are turned over to the current word selector who shuffles them and then reads each definition. The idea is to have folks vote your "bogus" definition as the correct one...for which you get points.

A cheap game to purchase...as the dictionary is usually a household item!

Sounds like an interesting game! Can't say I've ever played it... Played something similar tho. Since I'm a musician, most of my friends are too. Really late at night and sometimes after imbibing, we'd play this game called ugly chord...

Here are the rules. Everyone picks a note in their head to sing but doesn't tell/hum it to anyone else. Somettimes we'll and some boundaries saying "ok, you sing a hi note, you sing sometyhing in the middle, ans you sing something low." Then, someone says "go" and everyone sings their notes simultaneously. Can be really ugly or really cool. Then we try to figure out what type of chord it was. Hehehe. Definitely a music geek game.

All you need is your voice and the willingness to let your ears be assaulted!
