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.

This is an opposite clue.
Mexico
So if we had bolded US President like I said then we woulda gotten it in one
Clues still seem weird for US tho
Why clue all presidents? Why not mention Louisiana or Maine or Massachusetts or Wyoming or etc?
Like Wyoming is a one shot United States while Washington has many meanings
Maybe it’s something else but why else a Mexico opposite of not US?
I just popped up and thought to turbo it lol

Oops didnt see that
Man i feel we have to gues amerixa
USA is the only thing that makes sense for Mexico-0 clue
not sure why everyone went with president instead of Wyoming but prolly just went too fast and didn't think much about it; but Lincoln instead of Louisiana and Washington instead of Wyoming and Jefferson instead of Jersey bothers me a bit
they prolly thought we'd say US President and get it anyway, but maybe we are wrong
either way, I can't think of anything else to guess so USA to move this along
Jerseys in the uk
new jersey is in the us
I call it genocide jersey, genocide York.. etc
That doesnt differentiate tho
👍
If I was clued "Wyoming" I'd be thinking of "Yellowstone" and "state" in addition to "USA"
well USA includes state
but the only clues given were Washington/Lincoln/Jefferson
nobody clued any other states so it was more ambiguous; tho we were gonna guess US President to cover our bases so it woulda been fine
anyway, 2 cards isn't bad
Round 4:
Cards used: 5
Guessers: nich/filthy
The Board:
DL | EF | P | EF | C | RG | UNKQ
The target word:
someone please think of a number 1-440 and find that in column A of the sheet; double-check it hasn't been used before in column H. Then pm the word to d1iabol1cal, amazingervin, doctor zeus, ibedrummin, bolt2112
Target sent
Wow ummm...we'll be here for a while I suppose
That’s what ya wanna hear
Ok I have a D9 to get into the realm, I have no idea how we get this in 1
We can get into an inferior realm w k3/d5/n6 but ya. Think just D9 + U8 is the way to hopefully get there
Could go for an L5 to get in to the area?
Feels very hard lol
If we can get to c5 we should get in 3?
especially if we do a like an n6 and something
Yeah, I think this is the hardest word yet and not sure we could get it even if we had the whole alphabet to work with.
I think I know what most of these are, which are all essentially the same thing, but I don't know the d9 + u8 combo is?
c5 I think gets them- so lets work towards it
I might no what the c5 is, but not totally sure. Is that maybe the same thing as the d9?
