abbreviations
Abbreviations may very well be the most difficult game on our entire list. The series of letters essentially serve as acronyms, formed of the initial components in a particular phrase or word using the individual letters that begin each word. With Abbreviations, you first choose a phrase summarizing your current activity or simply a phrase you’d like to utilize for the game. Then you take the first letter from each word in the phrase and combine them to form an acronym, which you then tell to your opponent before letting them try to guess what the newly-minted abbreviation stands for. Hints and variations on the game, such as offering more than just the first letter of each word, are often welcome given how hard it can be. Furthermore, the winner is whoever can stump their opponent.
Example: If you’re “grabbing a beer downtown,” for instance, you would present your opponent with the abbreviation “GABD.” They would then attempt to guess what the acronym stands for, and if they fail to do so in an acceptable amount of time, you’re the winner. Again, you may want to offer up hints considering how open-ended an acronym such as “GABD” is. “Giggling about barking dalmatians,” anyone?
