📡 On the Radar

🎲 Gibberers

• I've not played this yet, hence its inclusion in the "on the radar" list. But I'm keen to check this one out.
• From what I hear, the game is about making a shared language and then using that language to describe other things. So, for example, you might have a word for water and stick, and you use them to try and explain the word "umbrella"
• Think "toki pona" the game.
