Katakanashi

It is a word game involving people guessing words with some limits (think Taboo but for Japanese words). There is a card containing 5 Japanese words that everyone can see. There is a clue-giver that must describe 1 word (which they know as they are given another card numbered 1-5, corresponding to the position of the word in the word list they must describe). These are "katakana" words which tend to be foreign-borrowed, for example "konpyuuta" which comes from computer. The gimmick is that the clue giver cannot use katakana words to describe the word. This is difficult because using loan words make it much easier to describe katakana words. First person to guess gets a point.
