Niamey Griot Praise Chant Relay

Players sit in a circle and choose a first player to be the griot, or praise-singer.

The griot invents a short rhyming line praising the person to their left.

That person must immediately invent a line praising the next person, continuing the chant.

Anyone who hesitates too long or repeats a line already used passes a token to the center.

After a set number of rounds, the player with the fewest tokens wins.
