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.

bold it
windshield wipers
Well that worked out!
Unreal.
I guess it helps when you have 100 clues to work with, but that was great deduction work.
My opposite was rearview btw and the g5 was glass. That only leads to windshield, but I figured that if you guessed windshield then you would guess windshield wipers for coverage.
That was truly something pretty goddamn special
that was all nichp... he's the Michael jordan of sides
wow
I mean it was good cluing too. great cluing! it was great cluing and an amazing guess
Nice cluing
Dashboard was a great clue that narrowed it down to like 10-15 items and then u8 umbrella and r4 for rain made it not bad
Also I spursed flood bc you prolly meant fluid
Round 5:
Cards used: 6
Guessers: filthy/ibd
The Board:
EF | P | EF | A | C | RG | UNKQ
The target word:
I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, amazingervin, doctor zeus, bolt2112
prolly opening up p6/p8 will be good
f7+p8 is a lock
k3/d5/n6 = kia/dodge/nissan to get car, which is inferior to dashboard
not sure yet; maybe lever
u8 = umbrella
r4 = rain
r7 = raining
f5 = flood or fluid
not sure on this yet; it's slightly different angle so will have to think about it some more
windshield wipers are right over your dashboard

Post for the ages here
Everything totally right
Nich busting out advanced genius level 28
Unreal tho, amazing guess
I don't think anyone thought it was happening in 1 turn, and you got BOTH of the words snapped off
Super well done
thanks; your u8 made it easier than it seems
I had clean for my c5
Fantastic guess work
I don't think we can do f6 if it's what I'm thinking you mean; can discuss after the round unless you mean something else
Hmm i disagree. Wont got further as think its borderline
I'm good with F7 + P8. But we can also probably get there with K7/R6 if we feel like taking the right hand side of the board instead.
I see k7+r6 and it should get there also (not as lock tho unless I’m on wrong k7; r6 is obvious) but I prefer the lock f/p which could get in one if they figure out p over card selection, and it also unlocks another ef anyway
I don't have much time today but don't wanna slow game down so good with what you all think
freedom
