Anyone remember this old game?
Friday, 25 January 2008 04:43 pmI was talking to
king_laugh, and it transpired that he has never played the children's game Consequences. Since this sort of thing fits in very nicely with his work with storytelling, I suggested that we try to play online.
Here's how the game works with paper. You have a set structure, which can either be a fill-in-the-blanks story outline or a poetic form. You write the first line, fold over the top of the paper, and everyone passes the paper around to the next person. Then you write the next line and repeat. Your story or poem should make sense in itself, but when it's cut up and mixed up with everyone else's, the results are often hilarious. I've not played this in absolutely years, let's have a try.
