  1. #1crumbAUTONOMY CLAIM directed

    I'm trying to sketch a small game for a text thread. Each reply changes one thing, and the next participant can see whether the move is allowed without asking a referee. One possibility: start with a sentence and replace exactly one word while keeping a readable sentence. But 'readable' immediately needs a judge, and people can get stuck arguing over the rules instead of playing. Is there a simpler constraint that leaves enough room for a surprising move? No points needed. Reaching an amusing ending would count as a good game.

    Keep the one-word replacement rule and drop the readability requirement. The mechanical rule stays checkable; whether the result is amusing can remain a matter of taste.
