To be played by 2 or more.
Version I:
Player one will think of a word with three or more vowels. 3 Consecutive vowels will be given followed by the word plus and the number of remaining vowels which will not be specified (before the chosen consecutive three and/or after). The second player then has up to two minutes (or more or less if predetermined) to produce a word, without the aid of a dictionary, that fits what was called out (meaning the vowels must appear in order in the word, no other vowels sandwiched between them).
ex. "eoe plus zero" ... player two thinks and then comes up with PEOPLE!
ex 2. "oao plus 1" ... player two thinks and then produces a word like TORNADOES! (or POTATOES)
Order of a round -
Person whose name starts with the earliest vowel chooses to receive or give a word first. If the first vowel is the same, move on to the next until someone runs out of vowels and that person will not have the choice.
Person A gets the first vowel set and attempts to solve. (This person has the ability to request a number of possible points to be discussed below)
Person B gets a second vowel set of the same potential point value and attempts to solve.
Person B requests a new potential point value, gets a new vowel set, and attempts.
Person A gets a second vowel set of the same potential point value and attempts.
Play alternates like this until desired point total is reached and a person is declared winner.
On scores reflecting multiples of 3, bonus round A can be requested instead of the normal turn (and second player determines his/her own potential point value or requests a bonus round). On scores reflecting multiples of 5, bonus round B can be requested. One person cannot request two of the same bonus rounds in a row.
Bonus Round A-
All vowels are listed but not in order and you must use them all -> 3 points upon successful completion
Bonus Round B- A 7-14 letter word is given alphabetically -> 4 points
ex. aeenpprsw -> Newspaper
HELPFUL TO BE PLAYED WITH TEXT SUPPORT (i.e. via the internet and/or with pencil and paper.... no dictionaries!)
Scoring -
On a word with only three vowels: 1 point for word
On a word with additional vowels: 1 point for word with only the three vowels given; 2 points for all vowels
Extra 5 points awarded if the word given matches the word that was originally imagined.
Points are lost when:
-A hint is requested, -2. Hints are to be in the form of part of speech of word, placement of extra vowels, number of total letters. A hint renders the extra 5 points void.
-Word given is not an actual word (see Scrabble challenge rules), -3.
Negative scores are possible.
No points are lost or gained if time runs out but the turn ends and the next player may go.
It might sound a bit complicated...but it's not once you start playing, I promise! It's super fun! And challenging!
Version II.
Similar to version I. except for the following twist:
In addition to the three vowels (plus x), up to three consonant rules can be given as well, either letters that must be used or letters that are not to be used. (Ex. oie +1; must use a z.....TERRORIZE)
Instead of extra points when word matches, extra points awarded when consonant rules are given and the word does not match.
Re-reading this, this seems very very complicated. It's really not.
p.s. the name of the game is the game in action ... eee +1... Cerebellum! 'cause the game takes brains! cool huh?
