ASOIAF Phrase Guessing Game #7, Ned POVs In AGOT.

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the seventh edition of the ASOIAF phrase guessing game!

I'm going to propose something different this time. I will suggest that hosts pick their phrases from the A Game of Thrones book, Eddard POV chapters. This will allow some guessers and hosts alike to get down into the weeds and pick some good lines that might otherwise be forgotten. Keep in mind that just because a line comes from an Eddard POV, does not mean it was said or thought by Eddard.

If you'd rather use a non-Eddard/AGOT phrase, by all means, do so. Just let the players know.

Thanks!

For those who have not played before, the idea is that the host will pick a phrase from the book and only give the number of words as a starting clue. The players then ask for letters (like hangman but without the threat of getting hung). The host responds with a list of the words in order, like this:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. e, e


No: f

So if, for example, your phrase is "winter is coming" and you are asked "Is there an E?", your response is:

1. e
2.
3.

When a player feels he has enough letters, she solves them like anagrams and successfully guesses the phrase. He then becomes the new host and picks the next phrase, or she can pass off the hosting duties to anyone who wants it.
