It goes like this:
The point of the game is to try to make the longest possible string of compound words, basically. For instance, as the first poster in the round, I could say "box." The next poster would say "car" making "boxcar." Then the next person has to make a new word using "car" as the first part, ie carport.
You see?
The round ends when no more words can be made, the more words you make, the more points you get. Whoever made up the last word in the round before everyone is stumped automatically loses, vis a vis the purpose of the game.
YAY!
Let's start wiiiiiithh....
