Anyone played it?
It's like traditional bingo, only with words instead of numbers. You listen during boring meetings, cross off the words, and yell BINGO when your card is full.. I'm thinking of instituting it at my work.
We're already trialling meeting snipering - we nominate an unusual word (like 'obfuscate') and the goal is to use the word during the course of the meeting, in it's proper usage, as many times as possible. The winner is the person with the highest tally at the end. If the person running the meeting cottons on, then the last person to use the word has to buy morning tea for all the other players.

But I already use 'obfuscate' in meetings...

Me and some mates used to play it at work at a rather serious organisation I used to work for.
But none of us had the necessary sized testicles to actually shout bingo.

The art of the 'Bingo' part apparently (for those of us with normal sized appendages- and mortgages) is to work it into the meeting.. wait until someone has just made a really good point, and then say 'Bingo... that's exactly what I was about to suggest!'
Word for today was 'tactile'.. Snipering seems to be good fun for now, but you do need an interactive kind of meeting rather than just a presentation for it to really get going.
