- Fictionary can be played by one or more players. Each round, the word-
- giver chooses a word -- from the file, or by entering a new one. This player
- sees the actual definition, then enters a paraphrase. The others see only
- the word and make up their own definitions. All players then vote for the
- definition they think correct. Points are awarded for guessing the correct
- definition and for fooling others into voting for a false definition.
-
- When played by one person, the game becomes a vocabulary guessing game.
- Teachers or parents can create custom wordsets using the Fictionary utility
- program that comes with the registered version.
-
- Users are encouraged to submit new words to Cascoly for inclusion in the
- game. Registered users will receive the most current word list with their
- registered copy.
