ゴモジン (GomoJin)

ゴモジン (GomoJin) is a Japanese word quiz game. One player is the Answerer; the others see a word in kanji or katakana. They rephrase it using two kanji and three katakana, writing their answer secretly. One player reads their rephrasing aloud. If the Answerer responds correctly, both score points; otherwise, the next player takes a turn. The order of turns is determined by the validity of the rephrasings according to Japanese dictionaries and common usage. The game repeats until each player has been the Answerer once. The highest scorer wins.
