Okay, so I just made this game up!
Essentially it's a game of exaggeration.
So you start with a person going:
I bet a (thing) !
And the next person says
I see your (thing) and raise you a (thing that beats your thing) !
rinse repeat until it's far too overblown, at which point someone can just say 'I got nothing' and the game restarts.
example
--
I bet a chicken.
I see your chicken, and raise you a horse!
I see your horse, and raise you a dragon!
I got nothing.
I bet a wristwatch!
I see your wristwatch, and raise you an alarm clock!
I see your alarm clock, and raise you a pillow over my head!
I see your pillow, and raise you a mattress!
I see your mattress, and raise you a futon!
I see your futon, and....
You see how this goes.
I bet a bowtie!
