“The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine.” the game’s first sentence — Paris, 1925

Exquisite Corpse is a parlor game in which participants take turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper, then fold it to hide past contributions before passing it to the next player. This version seats a language model at the table. Each player crafts a one- to five-word line from the previous entry. The sheet folds as it passes, so the next player sees only the newest contribution. The complete poem appears when someone ends the game.
