Players agree on a category from which they will name words. Once the category is established, the first player says a word. For example if the category is U.S. cities, the first person might say "Los Angeles." The second person must begin the name of another city using the last letter of the first city, e.g., "Seattle." The game continues until a player is stumped and cannot continue the chain (in this example, if the next player cannot think of a city beginning with "E"). Players can play up to any predetermined point value.
