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.

Dang it, I hoped they bolded the other one cause always easier to figure out a 2 letter word
With that idk what this is, continental? Not CNN, some kinda chemical element?
Ya I don't really know what a CN is offhand so unsure here, hopefully partner knows 
The CN Tower is that tall pointy building in Toronto. That’s the only thing related to CN I can think of.
Nich said C2 is like B5. And consensus was that B5 is a lock.
He also said T6 gets us there before B5.
It can’t be skyscraper or building or something, because B4 for Burj would’ve been mentioned. And T5 for tower.
And I don’t know the periodic table, so if there’s a CN I don’t know what it is.
Given everything you said imo...
It's probably tower
Idk the other words but you knowing an immediate thing for it makes me think that has to be it... ... Unless there's a specific use but right now I think the word is tower
Maybe. If it’s tower, then what are B5 and T6?
Tower of Babel
Yeah, I’m good with you going ahead and bolding tower
Tower
Bink
Good job!
The t6 I was thinking of was turret.
Yeah turret was my t6
Castle was c6
Round 4:
Cards used: 4
Guessers: ibd/d1
The Board:
IH | UNKQ | DL | UNKQ | M | B | T
The target word:
I've pmed the word to ervin, bolt, zeus
t5 comes to mind
there is a t10->b10 combo that basically always gets there but prolly nobody will guess this combo
t5->b10 also works tho, should always get there, and has much more 1-word bink equity
I've got a t10 that's pretty close to a t9
my t10 I don't think is like a t9
but t5 is much more direct anyway so I'm in favor of going that path; I'm sure some/all of you will figure out t5 and then b10 can finish it off if they don't get it in one
b4 also good but could be a Shadowfax
I don't have the b10. But I figured out your t10.
b5 is ok too?
I think the T side is definitely best
Yeah t5 is by far the best clue
Do yall know what t5 is?
I'm not sure what any of these are so will defer
Oooh I got the t5 that goes with another t5 but it's pretty hard for them to get to the word from that
