How to play
The first player says "I love my love with an A, because she is ___" where the sentence is completed with an adjective that begins with the letter A, like artistic. The second player then repeats this sentence, but adapts it by adding an adjective that begins with the letter B, like so: "I love my love with an A and B, because she is artistic and bodacious." And so on, each successive player repeating the sentence with the previous list of adjectives and adding a new adjective for the next letter in the alphabet. Any player who cannot remember the entire list in alphabetical order, or who cannot think of a suitable adjective, drops out of the game. The last player left is the winner.
Players can make the game easier by removing the need to recall the previous list of adjectives. So the second player simply says, for example, "I love my love with a B, because she is bodacious."
Players can also make the game more difficult by requiring players to find adjectives for any number of additional categories, such as name or location, or even requiring adverbs to precede the adjectives. For example, "I love my love with an A, because she is adoringly artistic. Her name is Amber and she lives in Atlanta. We went on vacation in Albany and I gave her an anklet."
Another version of this game is Minister's Cat.

Did you know?
There are approximately 125,000 adjectives in the English language. That's a lot of words to consider when looking to perfectly describe that jaw-dropping sunset before us.
This estimate is based on the fact that about a quarter of the words we use are adjectives – and if we assume there are 500,000 total words. That total is based on the number of entries found in unabridged dictionaries like Webster's Third New International Dictionary.
Incidently, this means there are approximately 250,000 nouns, 70,000 verbs, and 55,000 adverbs, exclamations, conjunctions and prepositions.
