STEEMIT! A party game of linguistic nonsense

STEEMIT!

Side by side shot of the first page of the PDF and the HTML file.  Word games don't give you a lot to show.

Steemit! is an adaptation of a word game I've played with friends for years, adapted to this form because it fits the meta-logic behind steemit surprisingly well.  The idea of the game is simple;  you are given three words and you have to create the most entertaining or interesting sentence possible that incorporates those three words.  And then the players vote on which sentence is best.  Think of it kind of like magnetic poetry crossed with Cards against humanity.  The catch being that the power of your votes is directly linked to how many people have voted for you before.  

Normally me and my friends would use note cards (Something you tend to accumulate a lot of when studying medicine) with the words written on them but I've decided that you cool steemit fellows might want something more advanced. So I slapped together an HTML file you can open and it will give you the words to play with.  I've hosted it here:

And if you want to have the HTML file so you can use it offline, you can find it here

There's a list of the included words here, if you're so inclined to look.

It's a surprisingly good time if you've got some creative and/or drunk friends to play with.  You learn a lot about people when they have to create things based on random input. Mostly you learn that almost anything can be an innuendo.
