El Juego de la Reconquista. ;)
This is a game I made up spontaneously while waiting to be served at Sea Island, un restaurante locale. The rules started out simple:
1. one person picks a word, and then the next person comes up with a synonym that is one syllable longer. This is done until no more words can be found. There are two extensions: One for individual competition, and another for team play. Which one do you guys want to do? Individual goes like this: ext. Whoever comes up with the last synonym in a sequence get's one point for every syllable of that word. When a person can not think of a new word, they say "pass", and the sequence ends, giving the points to the person who posted that last word. Players compete to be the highest scorer. Team goes like this: Team-mates pick a country: And the points go towards the country that that player belongs to. It get's pretty challenging.Give it a try! Oh, and synonyms, may be in spanish or english, since this is a bilingual forum. I'll pick the first word: "Nice" |

*note* The words don't have to be exact synonyms, so long as the general meaning in the same.
canonized *note* this word is three syllables long. Can-non-aizd It means to be recognized as a saint. |

Is this open for discussion? In English, at least, the -cio- would be counted as two distinct vowel sounds, thus two syllables.

That's true. But if we're allowing two languages in the game I would imagine that the rules of one language wouldn't be applied to the other (at least that seems logical to me). In Spanish, "delicioso" has 4 syllables as the io in cio is a dipthong.
