What are you looking to use to play games? Your question is too vague :p

I'm guessing it's between a notebook and nothing.

What? ...The alphabet game? You know...where you read the street signs and try to find all the letters of the alphabet...Maybe it's a family thing...

It isn't though we had an option rule (to elongate the game) that only the FIRST letters of words counted.

My family likes to play that game too.

Another fun letter game is to play "don't complete the word".  One person starts with a letter and you take turns going around adding one letter each.  Whoever finishes a word is out.  If you think a person is bluffing (adding a letter to avoid finishing a work but that couldn't lead to an actual real word) then you can challenge.  If they can't tell you what word could be finished from their start, then they are out.  But if they can, then you're out.

Other fun games include travel versions of Connect 4, Chess, and Checkers.  Then of course there are portable game systems like Gameboy and PSP.

Ooh, that sounds like fun. I'll have to try that.

I will come back and reply to this post as soon as we find the other 18 letters of the alphabet. :)

In this particular format, we'll have to set the number of players starting the game so we know when to cycle back through again.  Lets' say that the first 5 people to post letters are in the game.  Which means that after myself and 3 other people post a letter it is back to the "other Prof's" turn.  That being said...

Well that's unfair. If there are 5 people, I can already foresee my demise. The rest of the players can very easily conspire to make me lose.

No, that is only an abbreviation, not a real word.  I should also mention at this point that proper nouns and foreign language words also don't count.

But if we don't limit it, then an unlimited number of people would want to play until there was no way to add another letter, then no one new would want to join, and the original person wouldn't wrap around either.  Thus the game would end.  There has to be a set number.

All that being said, we're back around to "the other Prof" with SYNTH...

I understand. I usually have played this game with at most three people; five just seemed rather arbitrary, and given your choice, redemptioncousin made sure that I would lose by the first five people saying S-Y-M-B-O or S-Y-S-T-E. I might have been able to come up with something, but I doubt it. But he didn't, so I will continue the game:

EDIT: You're right. I've always played a different variation where you're eliminated if you can't add a letter. Guess thats what I get if I don't read the rules :o.

You don't understand the game. As soon as someone makes a real word, he loses. In order to make any of those words, I would have either had to make symbol or system.
