The game continues with more objects being added, and a player is disqualified if they forget one of the previously occurring items or can not think of a new item to add to the bag. The game continues until all but the winner has been disqualified.

Alternatively, objects can be named in any alphabetical order, but without repeating an earlier starting letter.
