Conversation games, also known as verbal games or spoken games, are games that require only conversational ability and no other paraphernalia. Conversation games owe their popularity to their ability to be played almost anywhere with almost anyone and for their ability to generate conversation. Their popularity has gained in part due to the hip hop culture and TV shows like Wild 'N Out and Yo Momma. They can often also be categorized as guessing games, word games, or because of their freedom from equipment or visual engagement, car games. Because of their nature, conversation games are usually non-commercial.
