>>438035 This is the grammar school name. The colloquial name is Consequences. I'm sure in my family we called it something else but I can't remember now. Like ching chang chong for rock paper scissors. Are there any other names for it?
>>438037 Consequences is the older version that's a narrative instead of a drawing. Exquisite corpse is the version the surrealists came up with, drawings.
Hangman.
And also those variants of Noughts and Crosses which use a grid larger than 3x3, because once you've worked out a technique for the 3x3 version it's easy enough to just consistently force a draw.
Basically you write down categories, some things like name-city-animal are pretty standard but you can other categories to your groups liking and tune it for your specific autism. Then someone picks a letter or you randomize it somehow and for that letter everyone privately writes down things of that category starting with that letter.
Empty box or invalid thing (i.e. not an animal in an animal box): 0 pts
Box with something valid: 10 pts, except
Someone else wrote the EXACT same thing: 5 pts
If no one else managed to fill that box, you get 20 pts
Was part of family fun growing up for me and recently played it with the missus and it was still fun
>>438042 I've heard this simply called "categories", perhaps with a randomly chosen keyword that selects the initial letter for each row.
This is actually the game I had in mind for this thread but couldn't myself remember what it was called or how to search for it until seeing your post!
