nice intuitive word. Minor objection to it not being a verb but a good idea.

Hmm where in the rules does it say it has to be a verb? I guess that is somewhat implied from the name of the game, but I didn't realize that was a hard and fast rule.

I would think the definition implies verb-like action in this case, but a well-placed object works for me too.

would you like to rephrase that Kyoti?
