My favourite "parlour game"

Something to keep you amused on long winter weekends:

I often enjoy playing the game Consequences.

You need at least three people sitting in a circle, some paper and pens.

Each person takes a piece of paper and a pen, writes down a persons name, and passes the paper to the next.

Each person then writes down a place on their new piece of paper, which is passed round again the same way as before. Another person's name is written down.

This is repeated for what the first person said, what the second person said, a place they decided to go to, an event that stopped them, and a place they went to instead.

Some people play the game differently, however, I like my rounds long and creative.

For example:

David Beckham

(went to)

Clacton

(and met)

Woody Allen

(first person said)

Isn't it cold out here?

(second person said)

I've been bouncing all morning.

(they decided to go to)

The Moon

(but)

The traffic was bad

(so they went to)

a pasty shop.

Hopefully yours will be better than my solo effort.
