Perfect for killing time! A roundup of games for three people to enjoy

Count-Taking Party Game

[Massive Craze] We tried the Kazutori-dan counting game and ended up with holes all over the house—hilarious lol

The Kazu-Toridan Game, which used to be very popular on a TV show, is a game you can enjoy with three or more people without any preparation.

The first person says a counter for an item, and the next person continues with another counter, and so on.

Each time you continue, the number increases, so you have to both remember the number and think of an appropriate counter, making it a good brain exercise.

Just keeping the rhythm and answering smoothly will get everyone hyped up.

It also seems like it could work online, so why not give it a try?

Stick Erasing Game

[Paper-and-Pen Game] Rules and How to Play the Matchstick Removal Game

The stick-erasing game is played by taking turns erasing vertical lines drawn in a pyramid shape; whoever ends up with the last remaining line on their turn loses.

All you need is a pencil and paper, so you can even play it at school.

The key rule is that any vertical lines aligned in a single horizontal row can be erased together.

For example, if there are five lines in a row and you erase the middle three, the two on the sides remain.

That means it will necessarily take at least two more turns to erase those two.

By using this mechanism to control the turn order, you aim to maneuver your way to victory.

No Voiced-Sound Game

The no-dakuten game is way harder than I imagined lololol

Voiced sounds refer to “muddy” sounds like da and ji.

For example, daijoubu and gomen are words that contain voiced sounds.

This game is about having a conversation while banning these voiced sounds.

When you talk, choose a topic and discuss it.

Saying you won’t talk is not allowed.

Remove the voiced sounds and keep the conversation going.

If you answer reflexively, you’ll end up speaking as usual, so be careful.

Announcing that there will be a penalty game for each voiced sound used will make it more thrilling!

Spot the differences

[Spot the Difference Quiz] A brain-training game to try this summer! Find the 3 differences [Free] #763

Among brain-training games that multiple people can enjoy, one of the most popular is “spot the difference.” It’s a simple pastime where you carefully compare two pictures to find what’s different, but it’s a deep game that tests your powers of observation and concentration.

With three people, you can compete to see who finds the differences first or work together to figure them out, which broadens the ways to play.

Adding a time limit increases the tension.

The restriction of “only three” differences is especially well-balanced, and the frustration of not being able to find the last one is part of the fun.

It’s a recommended brain-training game that excites players of all ages.

Infinite Shiritori

@hannariz.haru

Only people with a really good memory can do this, lol.#HannariestranslationTranslation

♬ Original song – Hannaries – Hannaries

This is a game of shiritori—where you take the last character of a word and connect it to a new word—that adds a memory element.

Instead of just saying the next word, you also line up all the words that have been said so far and then add the next one.

As the turns progress, it gets harder because you have to recall the sequence of how you got to the current word.

If you keep the turns moving to a rhythm, the difficulty increases but the rhythm helps you remember, so that pattern is recommended.
