Hello, hello! Baman here with another game, this time with a spin. Some of you may already know this, but Shiritori (しりとり) is a japanese word game in which players must use the last syllable of the previously played word to start their word with. Since the english language does not use syllables, instead we'll employ letters.

For example: Rain→ Nuts → Stars → Sun ...

Seeing as how there is a plethora of words in the english language let's set some ground rules:

  • all words must be nouns, this is a basic shiritori rule that will be carried over
  • words must be bigger than one syllable, c'mon now put some variety in it
  • compound words will be accepted, but no silly word-building
  • allow a grace period of at least one person before posting again
  • it's nice to see what you guys come up with, so you are encourage to be as unique as possible

    i'll start it off: Amoeba
