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.

NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST FIVE CARDS IN THIS GAME
Bump for some hero to Rand a word
On it.
V6 or M5 have decent ace equity. If we do V6 and they miss then R4 should bring it home.
We should just v6
Best way to bink and gets rid of tough letters
Yeah, this’ll be in one regardless of card we use. Maybe hanging into the 4-letter card as long as we can is the right move.
Yh the utility is there i could go for it
M just has a lot of good uses
Pretty sure I know the clue but possible I’m on wrong wavelength
There's an M9...I'm worried some of those may hit other things but could work
The way this plays out is once we decide on either V or M is that Nich & D1 correctly come up with the clue not chosen as well as the R4 and then they guess the answer.
We just need to pick either M5 or V6. I'm leaning ever so slightly toward M5.
Atp i think they get it regardless
Im on m now
I'm a little concerned m5 could go sideways but if you think they get everything then whatev
Milan
Seems straightforward
When they clue a bunch of cities in the same country we guess that country
Italy
bellissimo!
