Suggestion!
Suggestion to the gamemaster:
One character youso shiritori was difficult enough.
Do you now want to work us to the bones?
As if we had no other worries in the world than yousou shitiroti?
So here I have a suggestion that can save our personal lives
while playing the game.
How about the following rule:
*1. Of the two kanji syllables, leave one kanji alone.
2. The other kanji must be changed as in the 1-letter shiritori
3. The resulting 2-syllable kanji must have some usage as a compound in Japanese.
This sounds easy, but because of the compound restriction, it is several times as difficult as the original game, I think.
Daijyobu desuka, Akusu-san?
EDIT: I'm sorry; I wasn't thinking clearly. The rules I suggested are actually even more strangling than the original.
Please replace rule *1. with
1. Of the two kanji's, one kanji can be replaced by any kanji.
This way, the level of difficulty remains at an acceptable level, given the limited kanji compound vocabulary of mine!
