This is a very simple and fun game. The first person makes a wish, and each following person finds some way to corrupt the wish and then makes a new wish. For example:

Person 1. I wish I had a dog

Person 2. You have a dog, but it dies the day after you get it

I wish I had a muffin

Person 3: You get a muffin, but you drop it and have to throw it away.

And so on.

Your firt wish to corrupt is this:

I wish I had a new car.

There's your coupon. Alas it turns out to be bait and when you trade it in your personal info gets hacked and you become the victim of identity theft. The FBI sees you now as a very much wanted target.

I wish I had an amphibious car (water/land).

Aug-25-2022 10:17

You have an amphibious car. It's painted in luminous pink and yellow stripes, smells like cabbage and sweaty socks, and can't be driven anywhere unless it's playing Gilbert and Sullivan songs loud enough to be heard ten miles away.

I wish I had slightly longer toes.

Aug-26-2022 08:49

You do. You become very sensitive now about remarks and take things very personal very quickly. This makes you constantly prickly and moody and people tend to avoid you or just stick to small talk.

I wish I was the pope.

Aug-26-2022 10:28

The white smoke has gone up, and you are now Pontifex Maximus, Bishop of Rome, etc etc. Drunk on power, you announce that Kim Kardashian, Paul McCartney, Elon Musk and Usain Bolt are now saints, and excommunicate the Dalai Lama. Members of the College of Cardinals quietly slip cyanide into your communion wine.

I wish I could speak every human language in the world.

Aug-26-2022 21:32

The effects of the tower of Babel are now made undone for you. You speak all the languages fluently. Alas, something went wrong in your perception. You think what you hear sounds like Spanish but is actually Italian. You mishear German for Swedish. You confuse Polish with Slovenian etc etc. To make matters worse you are also swapping words that belong to different languages. Like using the Italian word allegro for instance when you actually meant allergy.

I want to become an ostrich jockey.

Aug-27-2022 08:26

You are now, an ostrich jockey and after many months of fame and fortune winning ostrich races across the globe you find that, alas, just as with cycling, sitting on an ostrich for several hours every day leads to erectile dysfunction.

I wish I was an untouchable living on the streets of India.

Aug-27-2022 20:26

Your wish is granted. Everyone keeps their distance towards you. No one wants to touch you, hand anything over to you, sell you anything, employ you, ... You'll have to leave the cities and live on what the land provides. One day while you're using the "bath room" a king cobra bites you in your butt.

I wish all flying insects would drop dead as soon as they come within a foot from from me.

Oct-17-2022 09:21

All flying insects drop dead, but soon there are no more bees to pollinate the plants, which leads to all the animals starving, which leads to the decay and ultimate collapse of humanity. Well done.

I wish I could have telekinesis

Oct-17-2022 21:34

You have the power to make objects move at will. Problem is that you haven't quite fine tuned it so at times these objects fly towards you at great speed and smack you rather painfully causing several bruises and small injuries. People in the street stare at you with pity in their eyes thinking you're a battered wife.

I wish I lived on my own island on a lake.

Dec-10-2022 08:48

You live on your very own island. It's about two metres square and the lake is full of piranhas.

I wish I knew what everyone wanted for Christmas.
