Game One-Word Story

[J.H. Atkisson]

The "One-Word Story" is one of the easiest games to run because the rules are simple, but the results are usually chaotic and funny.

The Basic Rules

1. One Word Only: Each participant can only post one word per turn.
2. Sentence Flow: Your word must follow the previous word to help build a coherent (or semi-coherent) sentence.
3. No Double Posting: You cannot reply to yourself. You must wait for at least one other person to post before you can add another word.
4. Punctuation: Usually, punctuation (periods, commas, question marks) is included with your word or counts as your "turn" for that post.

• Wait for someone else to post before you go again.
• Try to make it make sense (sort of).
• If and when the story ends a new story can be started by the next person to post with a title and first word.
