There was a great set of rules at another forum so I am just going to copy/paste them the only thing I have added is the scoring...
Someone comes up with a word or phrase, and must state a category for it. (The letters are replaced with blanks...)
Like this:
Sport
_ _ _ _ _ _
After this, people may guess letters in that word or phrase, or guess the word entirely. If a correct letter is guessed, that letter is revealed. If an incorrect letter is chosen, it is put at the bottom of the post, as well as an 'x' (Incorrect guesses of the whole word or phrase also results in an x)
Like this:
n
Sport
_ _ n n _ _
OR like this:
b
Sport
_ _ _ _ _ _
b
x
Also, one guess per post. I don't want anybody guessing the whole alphabet in one go. And spaces between words be identified with a ~
After 13 wrong guesses, the game is over.
Scoring:
Each time a person guesses a correct letter they get 1 point per space they fill in.
The person who solves the puzzle gets 5 points for each blank space left in the puzzle. So using the above example if you guess Tennis as the answer when the board looks like this:
T_NN_S
than you will be awarded 10 points.
If the person who started the round stumps everyone they are awarded 15 points. Or if they don't stump everyone they just get 1 point per X.
Now I have a question for you all... do you thing the points should be awarded as Karma or do you think I should create another part into the mini-profile that only I can edit that will be for Game Points? That is if you all think we can come up with more games that would award points...
