Pre Game Rules

Picking a Theme and Creating Chants

1.       Picking a theme for the game is easy.  True American’s can be the theme if you like, but you can be as creative as you like.  Let’s pretend the theme is Hollywood Hotties while writing our chants.

2.      Every player in the game is going to create a chant based on the theme Hollywood Hotties.  A chant consists of two related parts, what the chanter yells and what the listeners respond.  The chant and response cannot be more than two words.

a.      Ex.  Player one chooses “Scarlet Johanson” as the chant and “Ryan Reynolds” as the response.  This is acceptable, because they were both linked together at one point.

b.      Player two chooses “Stacy Keibler” and “Macho Man Randy Savage”  This is not acceptable, because Macho Man Randy Savage is too long.  Macho Man would be okay.  Both are linked through the WWE.  Even though they are not movie stars from Hollywood, they are both considered actors in my book.

c.       Player three chooses “Kevin Bacon” and “Derek Jeter”  Even though Kevin Bacon is connected to everyone, Derek as far as I know, is not an actor.  I believe this chant would be rejected. 

3.      Contestants can vote on what is an acceptable chant and answer.  During game play, once every three turns a player must chant.  If they forget, they forfeit their turn.  When it’s time to chant, the player chanting yells part of a chant “Stacy Keibler” for example.  The other contestants must respond with equal or greater enthusiasm “Macho Man”.  The chanter and correct responders get to move one space.
