Who wants to join in and play the games game?
The rules are complicated, but hey, you are Jellies!
The first answerer may name 1 game (whatever game).
The second answerer may name…..., also just 1 game.
The third can name 3.
And so on.
The 38th answerer must name 5 games (from which 1 must be already been given by answerer 1 to 37).
Game on!!

Uh oh, it is going to get exciting now, already two answerers…., i wonder who will be number three….
I will have to Google those two game names before i can give you your points, but already lurve for the effort!
World of Goo: 1725 points
Candyland: 22005 points
Monopoly, Parcheesi, Twister
Well done, @Pied_Pfeffer .
Unfortunately your score is only 267 points :-(
Scrabble, Uno, Clue, Mr. Potato Head… tehehe! Loved that game.
Life, checkers, chess, Chutes and Ladders, Operation.
Although i appreciate both your replies @chyna and @AmWiser , the rules state that you can only name one game :-)
(you being the 4th and the 5th answerer)
But i am not the worst game show host and reward you both with and lurve and 1500 points each!
I got confused because you said the 3rd can name 3. Then @AmWiser named four, so I named five. I’m blaming @AmWiser and that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. So to go back and only name one:
Life.
@XOIIO They work arbitrary.
@chyna You are right (about @AmWiser ), but you should maybe have known better as to follow a wrong and go wrong yourself??? (tilde)
But…., strong comeback with Life!
What the___? No fair! The rules are haphazard at best. So if the 3rd can name three, how many does the 4th name? I am soooo cornfused. @rebbel, yesss!, you are the worst game show host…ever~ Okay I’m better now:) So I’m going to name only one, right?
Battleship.
@rebbel but how do you decide how many the person gets? is it how much you know of the game?
1st: 1
2nd: 1
3rd: 3
4rd: 1
5th: 1
6th: 3
And so on, @AmWiser .
For Battleship i can give you…....., 6 points.
@XOIIO It is really not to me to explain in depth how the reward system works, but in big lines it comes down to sheer randomness.
How many points do I get with Life? It should be a lot more than Battleship. Who plays Battleship anymore?~
1500 minus 4, @chyna!
@AmWiser I am so sorry, i was wrong, it should be 4…
grrrh! I’m getting really perturbed now.
Okay, I’m back now and I’m #6.
Scrabble, Uno, Clue.
Scrabble has triple word value, so that makes 981, plus 1 for Uno, and….., awww, that’s too bad, Clue goes for -978.
Spades: i’ll come to that later, i have to browse some data for that one.
Edit: I am back. Of course, it is 11 (or 1).
For an entertaining display of the exercise of arbitrary power and meaningless awarding of points, I give 14,287 to @rebbel.
Out of 10,that’s a pretty neat score. Thank you, @Jeruba!
Since they are huge, i have 4×1001 = 4004 for the Hippos, @YoKoolAid !
Checkers, Super Mario, Farm Ville
Twister.
Can we also name video games?
Twister: 1966 points
All games are allowed.
