HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Starting with no letters, move around the group in order. On each turn, add one letter to the end of the spoken fragment; say the full fragment aloud so everyone hears it.
  2. 2The fragment must be capable of starting a real word with at least four letters, but the player may not complete such a word. A player who completes a valid word loses the round.
  3. 3Before adding a letter, a player may challenge the person who added the previous letter. That person must name the real word they were building. If they cannot, they lose the round; if they can, the challenger loses it.
  4. 4The round loser takes the next letter in G-H-O-S-T and starts a new fragment.
  5. 5With three or more players, spelling GHOST eliminates that player; the last player wins. With two players, the first person to spell GHOST loses.
