An entertaining and fast game for two, which got its name after the video of the inventive rock band OK Go, from which many people learned about it. The musicians even developed a mobile application that helps to play it at a distance – though it is currently unavailable.
The idea of the game is that after you count one-two-three each of the players utters a randomly chosen word. Then the goal of the players is to come to the same word with the help of consecutive associations. For the next one-two-three, both utter a word one way or another connected with the previous two and so on until the desired coincidence happens.
Suppose that the first player said the word “home”, and the second – the word “sausage”; in theory, they can coincide very soon, if on the second move, after one-two-three, they both say “shop”. But if one says “shop” and the other says “refrigerator” (why not a house for sausage?), then the game will continue, all the more so because you can’t repeat – neither the shop nor the refrigerator is suitable, and you have to think about something else. If the original words are far apart (for example, “curb” and “weightlessness”), then the gameplay becomes completely unpredictable.
