And then we decide whose word was best?

Exactly.

Okay! I think I understand how to play.

Alright, how about you take a turn as reader first.

The next card says:

C Cake

It'll be a piece of Cake

It's the icing on the Cake

And I have to substitute a word that starts with C?

How about...

It's the icing on the Clown

Tom kneels down by the desk and grabs a black pen to contrast with Sapphire's blue one.

Hi, It's Tom in case our handwriting isn't different enough to tell I'll use the black pen while Sapphire uses the Blue.

My proposal is "Icing on the Cloud"

Oh, that's a good one hmm, for maximum absurdity "Icing on the Constellation"

I think icing on a cloud sounds really cute and sweet, and icing on a clown sounds really funny, and icing on a constellation sounds weird and hard to imagine. I'm not sure what to pick!

I think it's between cloud and clown. I don't think constellation really works beyond just being bizarre. I think I'm gonna go with clown just because funny is a bit more central to the game than cute.

Yeah, the image of clown makeup but instead made of icing is pretty amusing let's go with that.

Neat, I did a good job! ✨

Whose turn is it now?

I'll go. The card is E, Executioner, "I am my own Executioner." I don't have an idea just yet.

Does that mean we should wait until you think of something, or should we suggest our own replacement words?

The order we give ideas isn't important you can even give more than one if you want though it's nice to wait for everyone to come up with at least one idea before suggesting more so you don't accidentally give something someone else was also thinking of.

Okay!

My suggestion is "I am my own Ermine."

I am my own Elephant. Like Elephant in the room.

I am my own Entertainment.

I had another idea: I am my own Elegance.

Which one of your ideas should I be evaluating, or should it be both?

We usually just go with both. Feel free to suggest more ideas if you have some. The exception is just if you have way more ideas than everyone else.

I think I like Elegance because it's a pretty word, and Elephant and Ermine both because it's kind of cute and silly to imagine someone being their own creature of some sort, but I think "I am my own Entertainment" is funniest.

Yeah I think Entertainment is the best fit. It's also a happy message in some ways.

I graciously accept my victory.

I'm rolling my eyes. Anyway... My turn.

P, Problem, "Houston we have a problem."

Since you're not from our world you might not know the context so I'll explain. Huston is a city where the mission control was for some of our country's first space missions including the first time people from our planet visited the moon. Huston we have a problem was what the astronauts said when there was a serious issue on their mission.

Oh, I see!

I think this time I want to hear your ideas before I try suggesting one.
