Here are a few simple games that could be played at jbonunsla. A few of
these have been play-tested during various Mumble sessions or on IRC,
and some I semi-invented for jbonunsla.
la re no preti (20 Questions)
One person thinks of an object, and the other people have twenty yes/no
questions to guess what it is.
xanri ko (Imagine!)
Very open-ended game. One player starts by imagining something out loud.
Then the next person adds to the imaginary situation with whatever they
like. Then the next person does the same, and so on. This is basically a
freeform story-building game.
palci zei ze (Evil Seven)
This is a fun counting game and can become very exciting when played
quickly. The first player starts counting at 1, then the next player
says 2, the next says 3, and so on. Any time a number that contains the
digit 7 or is divisible by 7 comes up, you have to say {.o'i} instead,
and the direction of play is reversed (if it was clockwise before, then
it changes to counter-clockwise). When a player makes a mistake (either
by counting incorrectly, or by uttering a number containing 7 or
divisible by 7) then that player gets removed from the round, and the
remaining players start at 1 again. The last player remaining wins.
valsi lerfu jufra (Word Letter Phrases)
One person names a random Lojban word and then everyone tries to create
a Lojban sentence with the same number of words as the random Lojban
word has letters, and each word has to contain the corresponding letter.
For example, MAMTA could become "Mi nA Ta'o nAi".
Whoever is done yells {mulno} or {mo'u}. The first one to finish reads
out their solution and then chooses the next random word. Extra points
are awarded for sentences that make sense or are funny.
A word chaining game whose name I don't recall
The first person names any gismu. Then the next person has to name
another gismu that begins with the same letters that the previous gismu
ended with, and so on. For example a round could go like this: gismu ->
smuni -> nibli -> bliku -> kufra -> frati ...
If desired, the game can be extended to include lujvo and zi'evla.
lo broda cu mo (Paraphrasing game)
This game can be played either as a team game or more casually in a
circle. The idea is to define or paraphrase a word without saying the
word itself, and the other people have to guess the word. In the team
version, the players first have to be divided into two teams, and then
it works like the game Taboo (or Hot Seat). If the word is guessed
correctly the paraphraser gets a point.
Here is an example of a possible paraphrase:
{lo broda cu rirni gi'e ninmu} -> answer: {mamta}.
ni'o .a'o ba zdile lo zvati
mi'e la selpa'i mu'o
these have been play-tested during various Mumble sessions or on IRC,

While I hoped I could pop by for a while on Sunday, I am afraid that it's not possible. I have to take my kids to the State Fair in the morning, and ride Citizen's Patrol in the evening.

I'm currently on my way! Hopefully my train won't be late to arrive. If
all goes as planned, I should be arriving at the hotel around 10:30 PM.
If I do miss any connecting trains / buses, however, I might wind up
stranded for the night. If so, would someone who came by car mind coming
to pick me up? I'll gladly pay for the gas.

stranded, call 609-520-1200 and ask the guy at the front desk to call me. I
have a pickup, so I can pick you up.

you very much for the offer though, and I'll take note of that number in
case anything happens.

I made it!
There are taxis from Princeton Junction, if that's where you're arriving, although they are somewhat expensive: $20.
The hotel restaurant closes at 10: If you want me to put it in order for you before they close, I'd be glad to do that.
