Shiritori

Shiritori Network Edition

A multiplayer word-chaining game for 2–8 players, playable locally or across a network. Based on the traditional Japanese game of Shiritori, each player must continue the chain by forming a word that starts with the last letter of the previous word — no repeats, real words only, and watch out for the forbidden letter.
