Stumbled upon this great little “game” at Google. You play against someone else online of Googles choosing – you don’t select who you play against. You get shown a picture and have a time limit in which to type words or tags to describe the image. If you and the other person type the same tag (you can type loads until you match) then you get shown the next picture and your score is increased.
That’s it.
Oh and you can either play as a guest or set a name.

Of course google are evil yadda yadda. The reason for this game is allegedly so that Google can better categorise the pictures in their search engine. That way when you search for pictures of a tree you get pictures of trees and not something else you weren’t expecting.

You don’t really play ‘against’, more ‘with’ the other player/user/whatever. I like Google image search, so I am happy to help make it better. It is a better way of wasting time than playing card games
Although there’s the competitive edge of “how many tags can I think of”. Although I do see quite few pictures where I try to describe the image well and then end up typing “man” or “tree” and finding that’s the only match
