Rules

• Any number of players can play the game in any order, in any language.
  
• The first player says any letter of the Akan alphabet, e.g. 'd'.
  
• The next player must then say a word which begins with the letter 'd' in Akan. Then they will say a different letter of the Akan alphabet
• The game goes on until a player is stumped, and cannot think of a word to play when their turn arrives. When that happens, the next player says "woaka!"
• A word, once used, cannot be repeated in the game.
  
• A letter of the Akan alphabet cannot be repeated by two consecutive players.
• Your score is the total number of words all the players were able to come up with.

Advice

• Agree on a common dictionary for resolving word challenges before starting the game.
  
• If a word is not found in the agreed Akan dictionary, the game is over!
• Agree on the timeout period. It can be as short as you want, or as long as you want. For face to face games, a maximum of 5 seconds is recommended to keep the game flowing.
  

Common winning strategies

• Pick starting letters which is easy for your fellow players to make words with.
