Mental

This is a fun game which players can enter at any time. It is played over a fixed number of turns (6, 8, 10 or whatever). In each turn the GM gets someone else (wife, girlfriend, dog etc. - and/or readers of the zine) to think of six words. These 6 words are unknown to the GM when they are read out (or first espied in the case of readers submissions). For each word the GM must respond with the first word or words which come into his head that are associated with the original word. These become the "correct" answers.

E.g. for Night the associated word might be Silent, Black, Nurse, Owl, Fever etc.

Given the same 6 words, players have to guess which word the GM will choose to associate. Five guesses for each word are allowed. On one of the words the Joker can be played - only a single guess is permitted but two points instead of one are scored if it's the correct word.
