Intro
This is a fun and simple game. It's in the Sandbox — feel free to join in! Why not? It's a good place to practice making links to articles and find interesting pages to edit on Wikipedia.
How to play
Simply, the game involves adding a single word to the list that is related to the previous one. Edit the main game or branch section, add a word, enclose it in brackets, update the word count, and save the page.
An Example
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, house, ...
Repeated Words
Avoid repeating words, and keep the links tasteful! Please use only blue links when associating. Piped links are acceptable in certain circumstances, such as when a word may have many ambiguities, like [[Queen (band)|Queen]]
. 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 "United States", and "Latin" by "Italic languages".
In the spirit of the game, please type only one word consecutively. Then another person can respond to your word, and the game continues!
Rules
Players can only play one associated word at a time. If the current word is chair, the next player can only add musical chairs, not musical chairs and party games as well.
In game, as usual, it is a must to update the word count each time you add a word. The official limit for the main game is 555 words. Please note that this word limit must not be raised.
Every 100th word may be made into a new branch. However, there cannot be any sub-branches and therefore the total number of Branches possible in this game are 5-6. Branches may contain up to 100 words maximum and 35 minimum.
For Game #25, in which the starting word was Garner H. Tullis and the ending word was Solo with branches Nanae, Hokkaidō, V for Vendetta, Drug cartel, Nintendo 64, and White & Nerdy, see this link.
