OK - this may be a new idea. The game works as follows:

Two words are given, one is the start the other the end. The object is to make a chain of concepts from the start word to the end word - the shorter the better.

Each word in the chain must relate to the last word.

For example: bird (start) rock (end).

Bird - penguin - ocean - ship - ship wreck - rock

OK

Start: moon
end: hades

Should be easy enough for most of you.

Why not credit => card => poker? We should have a rule where the person who gets the shortest chain wins or something.

Also, whoever comes up with the initial chain idea that results in the longest minimum chain wins too.
