    Elephant is a sheep game where the start of the next word must begin with the end letter of the word before.

    c0635ff0000f897ecef86bcd2aa5cd49.jpg

    Like a line of elephants walking along holding each other, trunk to tail. The Elephants get upset if their tails are not being held.

    e.g.

    elephanT
    TigeR
    RhinO
    OctopuS
    Seal


    Simple enough, but it can end up being a total train wreck. Once you step off the path, getting back on again can be a mind****.... not that there is any set path :)

    Connect the tails for these set of questions :)


    *Thanks to Rikand for the intro ;) *


    1. A European country
    2. A breed of cattle
    3. An English Premier League team
    4. A TV show
    5. A Covid-19 Vaccine
    6. A snooker ball colour
    7. A 90s song
    8. A capital city
    9. A Stephen King novel
    10. A game played on Forum Games



    Sign Ups open till the 14th May anyways, aiming to run the reveal that weekend sometime depending on other games in the forum.....

    Sheep is a game where you try to pick the most popular answer for a question, so that still applies here.

    Difference is in Elephant your answer to each question has to start with the last letter of your previous answer :D

    Yup sheep are unlikely unless (even if) many end up in the same tunnel vision path :D

    Jesus I've just had to give up on my third list trying to make this poxy thing work. Necro is off the christmas card list with their stupid totally fun game ideas. Honestly, 200 recognised breeds of cow in a list from the the British Cattle Tracing System and not one of them ends in a letter I need it to end with.

    OK, I have a chain! :)

    There's a couple of answers that are really shoehorned in though, so I'm not entering yet and will come back to it later to see if I can improve it

    I missed a question and had to re-do it. :mad: Oh these heffalumps can be infuriating.
    There is a question where as far as I can see you can only give one correct answer, that is what nobbled me for ages.

    Necs do you come up with your own set of answers while you are working out the questions? It'd be interesting to see what you choose afterwards if so.

    There's no answers or question numbers in the spoilers below just some comment on the bold.
    Yeah, without saying too much I suspect I had the same problem where it appeared to me that two questions had to be specific answers/combination to be a valid tail to trunk Unless I've really scuffed it :0

    Well this is sheep so there are no wrong answers right? :pac:

    I had to use some obscure stuff / versions of things to make it work so I doubt mine will sheep, but I made them all link :D
