Title: High Definition
Post by: Lizard Dude on February 01, 2011, 12:42:30 AM
Write the dictionary definition of a word and the other people try to guess the word. First correct guesser gets to post the next definition. Not sure how helpful Googling would be for this but to maintain fun you probably shouldn't.

I'll start:

to strike esp. on the buttocks with the open hand

This game (http://knoword.org/) is a lot more fun because there are points and it's faster.

My current high score from not playing very long is 715 points (34 words).
