Top Ten

This game is for any number of players who may join in at any time.

Each turn there is a theme. Each player must come up with 3 song titles on this theme - well sort of! You see the idea is that they must use the titles of real pop songs, and pervert them to the current theme in an amusing fashion. For example, on the theme of "underwear" you might come up with...

I Want Your Socks by George Michael

I Gusset's Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John

Thong Thung Blue by Neil Diamond

On the second and subsequent turns, players' entries will be published in the zine. Voting on the most amusing ones then takes place as follows: Each player picks his Top Ten (ranked 1-10) from those suggested by other players. The GM collates the results and publishes the aggregate Top Ten, the originators scoring 10 points for No.1, 9 points for No.2 ......1 point for No. 10.

The winner is the player with the most points after a predetermined number of rounds.
