There's a word game that I only know of as "The Game". I learned it by listening very hard to a group of what looked like camp counselors doing their laundry in a little town in Colorado one summer.

The first player says something along the lines of "I'm thinking of a game" and if someone says "Let's play" the first player starts in with:

(for example)
It's a game of blue but not red.
It's a game of bricks but not wood.
It's a game of blind but not deaf.

The other players listen to the descriptions, and when they think they know what the game is about they respond with:
Is it a game of buttons but not zippers?
And if they've gotten it the first player says, "Give me another one." And after a second correct example, now both of the players can keep adding to the list and tormenting the rest of them. You play until everyone has figured out the rule of the game. (In the example it's a game of words that start with the letter 'b'.)

You can play this with kids too, if you stick to easy rules, but with adults you can absolutely torment each other. My brother once kept the entire family going for forty minutes with a rule of "three letter words."

We play it that the last person in gets to start the next game.
