SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread
In this thread, we will play a new word game called Sides. It's somewhat similar to codenames, but cooperative and different.
Sign up with /in below if you want to play.
In this game, a target word will be randed as will a row of 7 cards that have letters on them (most 1 letter, some 2/3/4 letters).
2 people will be the guessers and everyone else will be able to give a clue.
The clue given must start with the letter on either the first or last card (the 'sides' of the row).
We discuss as a team who will give the clue with open discussion in the thread such as "I have a 7 letter word starting with a C"
Once there is some agreement on who gives the clue, that person will bold the clue they want to give in the thread.
The two guessers will then discuss in the thread and bold their guess. If it's correct, we move on to the next guessers and the next word. If wrong, then the clue givers post some info like "you are warm" or "you are about 30% there" etc to give directional info on how on track/off track their guess is.
Then they discuss and give another clue. But the person who bolded a clue cannot give another clue for the same word until everyone on the cluing side has clued a word (if we take that long to get the word), so one person can't hog the cluing.
Clues have to be one word, or an acronym, etc like in codenames; they can be hyphenated words
We can also give some info on how the clues relate to each other, or even say a clue is a 0 clue, so the opposite of what cluing for (e.g., clue 'colorful' as an opposite clue because the word is zebra)
I'll provide more details and examples in the thread in the morning, but this should be enough info for you to /in and join so we can play.

I’m on C11 (the right one) all day.
bold it
cheesesteak
Ok well philadelphia is first instinct
Same, but pretty sure it has to be sandwich.
C4=club
S3/s6=sub/subway
I'm not sure on the others, but there are tons of sandwiches out there, so I'm not too worried about it.
Only weird part is nich thinking I may not know of Subway? Still though, gotta be sandwich imo.
Maybe he doesnt knw if you have subway
Lets see if c15 works?
Two word c....
Everybody has Subway...it's the biggest ff chain in the world! I think. No way nich would ever think I wouldn't know it anyway. Maybe he was thinking of something else?
Anyway, it basically has to be sandwich. If it was Philly, they would be talking about IASIP for S, and they were so confident that this was a great clue, it must be one or the other.
I'm all in on sandwich.
The other s is sarnie
sandwich
Heyooooooooo
Nice work, boys
yeah s6 was sarnie, which is an England thing; not sure if Australia calls them that; we def don't in the US
well done, you two
what was c15?
croque monsieur was hyphenated one place I saw, but it's two words everywhere else, so couldn't be used
Round 8:
Cards used: 8
Guessers: d1/ervin
The Board:
S | RG | IH | P | JOVW | T | A
The target word:
I've pmed it to ibd/bolt/filthy/zeus
lol; that's unfortunate (I'll say why after the round)
s5 + r4 is a decent combo; not seeing a one-shot yet
r8 is our best chance at an ace
r8 is 2nd word tho, so not an ace
while I like the s5+r4 combo, r8 gets it also
either way, it's in 2; we may just have to use 2 this time; can't get everything in one, especially with only 2 letters on the outside
s6 never gets it, but s6 + r8 are a lock.
there are ones like s9 but they are more esoteric so crapshoot if they've heard of them
Unless someone has a shot at an ace with their first clue, I feel good about setting up a win in 2 guesses with my S6.
so we decided to avoid discussing the middle card letters, right?
we're just discussing S, R, G, and A... right?
i've got a meh opposite S6
i mean it's unlikely to get it in one
i can never figure out other people's words lol
s6 r8 r4 s5
i can't figure out any of those! lol fml :(
