JINX

IN THIS GAME ONE PERSON HITS ANOTHER AND THE PERSON THAT WAS HIT IS
JINXED. THIS MEANS THAT THE PERSON THAT WAS HIT CANNOT SPEAK UNTIL
HIS/HER NAME IS MENTIONED IN THE NORMAL CONVERSATION. THIS MEANS
THAT SOMEONE CANNOT SAY HIS/HER NAME JUST TO UNJINX HIM/HER UNLESS
THEY SAY HIS/HER NAME IN NORMAL CONVERSATION. IF THE JINXED PERSON
DOES TALK, THEN FOR EACH TIME HE/SHE SPEAKS HIS/HER NAME MUST BE
SAID AGAIN BEFORE HE/SHE WILL BE FREE OF THE JINX.
