Consequences
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the album by Dave Burrell, see Consequences (Dave Burrell album).
Consequences is an old parlour game similar to the surrealist game exquisite corpse or Mad Libs.[1]
Each person takes a turn choosing a word for one of six questions, in this order.
- Man's name
- Woman's name
- Place name
- A comment
- Another comment
- An outcome
Then the story is read: #1 met #2 at #3, and he said #4, she said #5, and the consequence was #6. In some versions of the game the man gets to reply to the woman, thus the consequence moves to #7. Another version includes 'the world said' at #7, which is meant to represent the response of the public to the consequence.
It is traditionally played by writing the words on paper and folding the paper to hide the previous words before passing it to the next player.
