    Venery game

    New game--first player provides a noun, and the second player provides a word for a group of whatever the first player named, then provides his/her own noun for the next player:

    Example:

    Lark

    An exaltation of larks (You can use the classic groups if you want)

    Inquartata

    A curmudgeon of Inquartatas
    or
    An antiquity of Inquartatas
    or
    A sidestep of inquartatas

    Got it? If not, here's further explanation: http://youvebeentold.blogspot.com/20...real-game.html

    First word:

    Hippopotamus

    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    You make the given word plural, so it should be "a veneer of identities," which is quite clever actually.

    "A house of bricks" would be more traditional

    Cool, game. I'd rep you for it if you hadn't just taken the last round of 'Caption'.
