Fictionary (a.k.a. Dictionary Game) is a paper-pencil game where words could mean literally anything. In each round one player selects and announces an obscure word from the dictionary and other players compose fake definitions for it. The definitions are collected by the selector and read aloud, including the actual dictionary definition. Players vote on their favourite definition. Players are awarded 3 points for voting on the dictionary definition, and 1 point for each vote his/her fake definition gets from other players. The dictionary passes to the next player and the game continues with a new unknown word. In one variation, players are allowed to vote for their own definition in order to attract votes from other players. The self-voter does not gain a point for his/her own vote though.

Гамруль или «Интеллектуальная Завалинка» или «Надуваловка» — юмористически-интеллектуальная игра, в которой игроки (или команды) соревнуются в написании лучшей энциклопедической статьи для неизвестного им слова. Само слово «гамруль» (вероятно, выбрано по созвучию с «гомруль») никому не известно, его нельзя найти ни в каком словаре. Оно истолковывается как «несуразица», «бессмыслица» и используется в качестве первого тренировочного слова для новых игроков.
