Poeticamente 2021

Do you want to try your hand at an enigmatic and creative game, for lyricists of all ages?

The winner is whoever is faster to compose a themed phrase or poem, in which the initial letters of words or verses recompose a name. (acrostic game)

The theme papers are mixed and covered in the center of the table, even in several bunches. Keep the name card and the marker close at hand. Each competitor must get some pieces of paper and a pen.

The youngest writes on the name card, in the column, the letters of a name (the chosen name must be at least 4 and maximum 9 letters and can be a personal name but also a common name of thing, person, animal, etc.). He then puts the card in the center of the table, showing it to the other players. Then he draws a theme map, places it face up next to the name card and the game begins. The first among the competitors who writes a sentence adhering to the subject of the drawn theme map, consisting of words or verses which, read in order, begin with the letters of the name of the ticket, wins the heat. If the sentence is not relevant to the theme, the second fastest player wins, and so on. The winner earns the drawn theme map. The game continues in the same way with a new round (the player following the first one in clockwise order will draw).

The winner is the one who wins the most theme maps at the end of one or two laps (at the choice of the competitors). In the event of a tie, a play-off takes place.
