Just wondering if the word game "Hangman" is played in the UK.
It's played on paper. One player chooses a mystery word and draws the appropriate number of blank spaces, along with a scaffold. The other player guesses at the letters. Each time there is an incorrect guess, a part of a stick-figure man is drawn hanging from the scaffold, beginning with the head and working your way down to the feet. How many body parts are allowable is determined by mutual agreement. The object is to guess the word before your man is hanged.
