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.

Tree house maybe 20%?
Hopefully c5 gets them on track
so;....are we wrong?
Yes
i don't know what c5 is, and i've lost all confidence in myself as a human living on the earth, let alone my ability to clue for this round
i actually might know what C5 is, and i say bold it.
the C5 im thinking of would get it, but what do i know? nothing
me/filthy/ervin have gone so only d1 and ibd can clue now
we have 2 cards left
DL | C
either can be clued at this point, so ya'll two figure out who has a good DL word in case c doesn't work, or vice-versa
my preference is definitely to clue c5 before DL word though, as off-chance he goes [redacted] first on c5 so good to have two shots if possible
C4 and C5 are both good. I think I lean C5 given the previous clues, but it’s also possible that it will take them in way the wrong direction. I don’t have anything credible for D. I still have my L5, which is by no means a lock for victory.
Maybe C4 with the opening clue is the better combo actually. Hmm…
D1iab?
We can "organize" the clues so maybe we put hut and shoots kinda side by side point up, and then deciduous somewhere below
I don't have much to add haha
I prefer the c4 to the c5. I think combined with shoots, they can't really miss.
I have an l4 and a d10 if they do miss. Neither are great tho.
Yeah shoots hut isn’t bad
Deciduous is placed 2 tables over 😀
Imo they should almost forget about deciduous and hut even being clues. They both seemed to get them further away than their first guess.
Yeah, you are right
I like c5 and c4; think I prefer c5 a little safer but maybe I’m wrong there
Def fine if y’all wanna fire c4 instead
The problem I have with the c5 is that while you may think of the c5 when you hear the word, you won't necessarily think of the word when you hear the c5, if that makes sense. The c4 is a much more direct hit imo.
Go for it, D1iab.
cane
Sugar right?
If we just ignore deciduous lol
Sugar cane
Is sugar hut a thing?
I'm so lost. If the answer is anything with sugar, why was the first clue shoots? Sweet was right there for them. A cane is also something you use to help you walk. Like a walking stick.
Ok could it be stick?
I was thinking the same thing. But it's *** stick or stick *** and not just stick.
Probably.
Yh- and- hut makes stick so weird?
It feels within the woodland sphere.
Maybe its like grove???
I think it's just stick.
stick figure
It’s neither of those, and probably at like 30-40% or so.
Shoots and cane are next to each other, hut is maybe below cane, and deciduous is turned face down and never spoken of again
I’m last to clue, so I’ll just go with the L5 I’ve been mentioning.
lucky
