Interesting; I've never heard of Eat Poop You Cat (and I doubt I would've forgotten it if I had), but it's basically the same idea as Consequences[0] or Picture Consequences[1], only less structured.

I had never heard of the name either, but then from the description I realized it was simply what we always called Words and Pictures.

It's a fun game, and essentially a version of telephone.

I grew up in a family of classicist academics, and had to endure the Latin game, which was exactly the same except instead of drawing pictures you translated the sentence into (usually poor) Latin, and then back again with every round.

I’m honestly jealous you grew up in a family that could do this.

Consequences is a classic game that you can play with pen and paper. It became a staple of our family christmases
