Just as it says on the tin. What happens in the game may be debated in the game: perhaps it'll be a conversation, perhaps a word-limited reprise of various games we play, or whatever.

Harvest-fattened and mellow, if that's what you mean.
Should we interpret this self-assessment with satire?
Actually I've lost weight. Dog walking, smaller portions.
So your husky has shrunk in the wash?
No, I usually wear a Barbour for walking.
I walked to the barber two days ago.
So did I. And I regret it now.
Was the barber in Blaenau Ffestiniog or something?
[Rosie] Are you thinking of Shaun the Sheep?
[Rosie, penelope) Or quite possibly Shorn the sheep?
You will be slated for those remarks, ladies.
Always enjoy being recognised as a lady, Rosie :^)
Which definition of 'slated' Rosie? Uk or US?
(pen) UK. 'Twas a joke.. I dunno.. 'Dwn i'n gwbod.
[Rosie] I see. I'm Google Translate's best customer.
(pen) Cymraeg o'r Gwgl? Paid! Pentwr cachu ydy.
L' y'a longtemps qu'jé n'vos avais pon veu.
Colloquial Welsh is one thing, colloquial French another.
Ark at ee - out west's a proper job
I'd do colloquial Australian but no-one would understand
Ooh, I dunno, we've all watched Monty Python
All? Are you absolutely sure about that Rosie?
I can't help it if you weren't born.
Surely everyone knows about the dead parrot sketch?
T'was on the TV by the exploding penguin.
Penguin and parrot will be partners in mortality.
And dictionary neighbours, along with pangolin and panther.
Back to Blighty tomorrow. Mother's 80th. Family reunion.
Back home. Three days of cake and champagne.
Back on the lettuce and water diet, pen?
Were there any problems with the Covid passport?
None at all. Only Stena asked for it.
Terribly overexcited to see the fun continues online.
(nights) Reassuring isn't it? Great to see you
Builders building at eight on a Saturday. Sigh.
Lucky that you can find bnuilders since Brexit.
That's a huge finger you've got there, mate.
I only wish they were building for me.
nights, have you thought of selfbuilding with Lego?
That sounds like a dodgy euphemism to me.
Dodgy euphemism or not; a Lego house? Nah.
I dunno - tiling must be cheaper with Lego?
[Pablo] If you're only 18 inches tall, sure.
[pen] I am - I was struck by a lift
[Pablo] Oh. I was struck by a thought.
I hope you struck back with characteristic feistiness.
Happy New Year, Eight-word-smiths and all the others.
Happy New Year, let's hope it really is.
One week in. So how's it going, folks?
Not so good. My wife broke her foot.
Ouch. Limping along then. What about everyone else?
Feet are unbroken, but not a pretty sight.
[pen] now I have Covid, so not good.
Feet are mullered, but new insoles on order!
Mullered? Didn't know you were a German footballer.
[Softers] Bummer. Hope you don't get it bad.
[pen]how to compare? My throat was sore.
Hope the Covid afflicted are on the mend.
Still have a cough and feeling very heady.
How's everyone doing? Keep taking your vitamins, folks.
The best vitamin for remembering things: Vitamin B4.
Is that 'B4 I forget to take it'?
And more certainly B4 the best by date
Hurrah! I have tested negative. Hope it's over.
[Softers] Was that an LFT? Don't count your chickens...
[Pablo] Yes, three in a row, fingers crossed.
Hoorah, outbreak amongst colleagues. Obsessively testing daily, then.
Clear blue skies, sun shining, Friday. Deep joy.
Anyone want an NFT? Go on, take two.
(Bismarck) I must refuse because I can't funge.
I always thought fungible sounded a little racy.
Fungible - is that like mushrooms? I hate mushrooms.
*Cries and hides away in some moist woodland*
Fungible means "like a bogeyman" - so I'm told.
Is this someone who continually picks his nose?
If I could pick my nose, I'd choose...
Well I certainly wouldn't have chosen this one.
I would not have chosen that one either.
Michael Jackson picked his quite a few times.
Did he use a nosepick? Like a toothpick?
Colleague bought chocolate croissants. Return to office - hurrah!
Retired, one has to buy one's own cakes.
Still working from home. No sharing my chocolate!
Working from home alone four days a week.
[penelope] Chocolate croissants? A flogging offence, here, surely.
I believe they're export-only. Not for domestic consumption.
Or better to call them pain au chocolat?
With my coffee I had ginger cake today.
Had my first coffee of the year today.
You'll be needing more around half past October.
Nothing would happen in my classes without coffee.
Nothing would happen in my coffee without glasses.
Your week in eight words, I'll go first.
Cancelled trip home, booked another, still no rain.
Saw last half of “Tove”. Trains to blame.
Looking at lovely weather outdoors while working inside.
I'm a workplace agony uncle now, it seems.
Covid visited for ten days then thankfully left.
[Nights] Surely here's safe to share it. Do.
[pen] Kind, but this is my happy place.
Happy but difficult. I'm stumped on limerick lines.
There was a young lass here called pen.
Well that fails to help MY stumpedness, Rosie.
Who lived in a mill on the fen.
Eight words on a third line? No way.
We should try French. Full of silent letters.
She baked a vleestaart / van struisvogel en hert
En serveerde het met eieren van een hen.
Saturday morning snow. Not ideal for going marketwards.
We had a good snow shower here, too.
It was a bright cold day in April.
Where? Not here in Sheffield I assure you.
A story in eight words by Augusto Monterroso:
"When he awoke, the dinosaur was still there"
But the Spanish original is in seven words.
May the Fourth be with you, of course.
The fourth word of this sentence is "of".
The eighth word of this sentence is "anything".
The ninth word of this sentence does not
I contend that that is not a sentence.
The first rule of Fight Club is that
I've better - the secret of happiness is simply
Wait! Bismarck! Is there something important you wanted
I've never really got this game because everyone
[Chalky] Be like me. I don't give a
I'm from the police and I'm here to
One more cup of coffee can't hurt, eh?
Not with the sort of posts we're getting
There have been no posts for ten days.
There, two posts in just two days, wow!
The blind man has been. We have blinds.
I see, but perhaps the artisan does not.
That depends how well he drew them, innit?
If it wasn't for blinds, it would be...
