Description
In a short period of time(less than a minute), you need to express yourself by throwing out scattered words.
Just try to focus on your mind and let the feeling fly, then throw out any word that comes to your mind and focus on the next connection point and continue.
Example
My real play for 44seconds round.
Topic: free time.
Result: relax, fun, swimming, water, bubbles, random, deterministic, nondeterministic, Eric, holochain, blockchain, prediction, binary, boring, game, pleasure, sauna, hot, summer, cola, ice, pole, penguin.
I do not force myself to stick to the started topic. I only release my mind that the spoken words lead me to the next memory or feeling or space.
Rules
Words
You can only say one word at a time. example: tree, beautiful, slowly, childhood, dad, mom, eating,
You are just allowed to use verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs.
You are not allowed to use pronounce, preposition, conjunction, article, interjections.
The use of compound words is not allowed.. like "nice weather" that is false.

In a solo game, the player should finish the current round.
In a group game, the player's turn ends and the next player starts.
How to Play
Solo Play
You can select a topic.
Roll a dice for timing.
1 = 11 seconds, 2 = 22 seconds, 3 = 33 seconds, 4 = 44 seconds, 5 = 55 seconds
6 = silence for 6 seconds
And start the round.
You also can write down the words you say.
You also can count the words in each round.
Multiplayer Play
Neighborhood Style
Each player selects a neighbor.
One starts the game and says words one after another.
When the player wants to finish her turn, she raises her hand.
Then the neighbor of the previous player continues the game, to the end.
Randomhood Style
One player starts the game and says words one after another.
When the player pauses on saying a new fresh word, it means she needs support.
Then another player jumps and continues the game. So there is a conflict.
If more than one player jumps at the same time they need to fix this conflict on the fly.
Round-Robin Style
Make a circle in the group.
Each player says one word and then it is the next player's turn to tell the next word.
My personal experience
I have been playing this game alone for some time now. At the beginning the number of words I could say was very limited and my mind quickly stopped. Sometimes even the game was boring for me. But after playing several times, I was able to let the words take me with them to the inner layers of my memories and feelings and concerns.
If you try this game alone or with your friends please let me know about your experiences. I love to hear your feedbacks.
With LOVE,
