Introduction
Feel free to join in! This is a fun and simple game in the Wikipedia:Sandbox. It's one place to practice making links to articles, and also a good starting point to look for interesting articles on Wikipedia that others have thought of.
How to Play
Simply add a single word to the list that is related to the previous one. Avoid repeating links already added, and keep the links tasteful. Otherwise, too much clutter ends up in the list and some cleanup will happen! :-)
For example, the game might start off with:
cat
Then, the next person might add
cat, dog
And after a few more rounds, we might get
cat, dog, pet, animal, forest, tree, ...
As the game develops, you get a pretty long list! Try not to repeat any of the words that have already been listed.
In spirit of the game, please only type one word consecutively. Then, another person can respond to your word, and the game continues!

sand has now been duplicated. I propose a "revert duplicates if caught before they are followed up on" rule... Sirmob 17:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

- Lasted until we had about 400 words on the list, and a bunch of repeated ones.
- Our first attempt at word disassociation. Creativity was somewhat lower.
