The rules

4 steps.

  1. The phone shows a letter. Say a word starting with it.
  2. The next player starts from your word’s last letter.
  3. No repeats, no proper nouns unless the group agrees.
  4. Hesitate too long and you are out.

The bit everyone gets wrong

Agree upfront whether names and places count. Half of all arguments in this game are about that.

What the phone does

The phone deals letters in your language and times each turn.

It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
