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.

G10 -> s5 i think works but quite specific
If were in ghe right zone s5 is a good one to have
Bump
Is v7 allowed or illegal?
I think V7 -> S5 is what I'd like to do
V doesn’t get us to the s card
S9 is so good if anybody else knows it
im too gun shy after deciduous 😊
does anybody know s9? if not, I'll hold my turn cluing for that one and maybe someone can clue a UNKQ that gets them in the right domain?
I don’t know any of what you all are taking about except for O3 and W10
Someone should prolly bold something soon.
😴
I’m saving my shot for s9
If someone else knows s9 I can do something else sooner but otherwise I’ll wait bc I think it’s a lock once they know the domain
Eh ive got a w11 that has the slimmest chance of getting us there
Lemme know
watercolour
Yolo
First idea for the watercolor and oil leads to painting but there's still 10 more words
I have the same thought as you, and I imagine the w10 is the same as the w11 we got. A lot of the other words could just be famous painters...I can think of a few that would fit.
They seem to think that o3>w10 tho, and I would say the opposite if it was just painting. But it should be somewhere in that ballpark I would think.
S9 could be sculpture perhaps
Something like sketching could also work
It's clearly not painting otherwise this wouldn't be the discussion
Trying to think of what v7 or s5 could be
They were talking about v7 being an illegal clue, so maybe that's Van Gogh? I don't know what the s5 could be.
I'm having a tough time coming up with anything better than painting right now, even though I agree with you that it should never be that. Watercolour really doesn't hit that many words, so it must be something very strongly associated with it.
Maybe it's canvas?
S9 could possibly be sailcloth. Canvas is starting to sound pretty right to me...
I don't know what K5 is
But yea I can't really come up with anything better if you wanna fire canvas
K5 could be Klimt.
We could do like art/paint canvas to cover our bases a little if you're good with that.
Yea sounds good to me, bold how you see fit
paint canvas
Canvas is correct - nice one!
