Places... from "Mad Men"

Game: Places
Origin: "Mad Men" episode 211, "The Jet Set", written by series creator Matthew Weiner.

When Don Draper (Jon Hamm) takes a business trip to Los Angeles, he meets a beautiful and intriguing woman named Joy (Laura Ramsey) and takes off with her. At dinner with her friends, the group plays a game called Places.

The point of the game is simple: one person names a city, and the next person has to name a different city that starts with the last letter of the name of the previous city.

For example:

Person A says Paris. Person B names a city starting with "s", such as San Diego. The next person names a city starting with "o", and so on.

It's not a complex or particularly thrilling game, but it would be a good time-killer in a situation where you're bored or want to seem sophisticated by naming a bunch of classy jet-set spots!
