"Shostak is attacking"
by KOKO Chanel April 25, 2010
This is a game that is similar to "I say, You say Louder" that is played with a minimum of 2 players with the players saying a teacher's name louder than the previous person. The Shostak name was referenced as the name used in the first game. Either the winner is the last person to say it wins or the person who got caught loses. Alternate way to play: Don't say the name louder, just until someone gets caught or everyone else is tired.
Person 1: Let's play the Shostak Game!
Person 2: yeah!
Per. 1: "shostak"
Per. 2: "Shostak"
Per. 1: "Shostak!"
Per. 2: "SHOSTAK"
