Initials

  • Initials can be played by any number of players, including one.
  • The object is to find names of well-known people whose initials match two randomly chosen letters. The letters can also be the same.
  • In competitive versions of the game, the player (or team) to find the most names in a given time wins.
  • A personal confession: the author of this description has for many years played this game on his own as a good luck ritual during half-time breaks of his favorite team's games, and has contributed to many comebacks by finding at least five names for a difficult pair of letters :)
