Introduction
This is a fun and simple game. Wikipedia:Sandbox - feel free to join in! It's a good place to practice making links to articles, and to start looking for interesting articles on Wikipedia.
How to Play
By way of example, a game might start off with: cat. Then, the next person might add cat, dog. And after a few more rounds, we might get cat, dog, pet, animal, forest, tree, ...
Simply, the game involves adding a single word to the list that is related to the previous one. Avoid repeating words, and keep the links tasteful! Clearly, as the game develops, one gets a pretty long list! If you're stuck for ideas, link to the last word in the list and add the first link that appears on that page as the next link. Thus Sebastian Junger would be followed by 1962, and Latin by language.
Try to update the word count each time you add a word. The unofficial limit for the main game is 500 words.
Occasionally, it's good to have some branches that diverge the main game into several sections. The unofficial limit for said branches is 80 words.
In spirit of the game, please only type one word consecutively. Then, another person can respond to your word, and the game continues!
Just to let everyone know, there's an invisible branch down the bottom of the page. Edit the page to see it.
