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.

I don’t think brown recluse is capitalized; capitalizing it woulda had me thinking about movies or shows about a recluse
I think that’s another name for black widow, but not sure I woulda thought of spiders for them without context

H7 seems decent
H7 was my first thought. I really like the idea of B6, but it’d for sure lead them astray.
Oh man, I really dig B5. Not sure if anyone’s gonna wavelength me here, but I hope so. There are actually two B5s that could be pretty great.
I wish we didn’t have two IH cards in a row, but a B5/H7 combo has to get them there, in whatever order we’d think has lost one card bink equity (which I think is B5, but I doubt they get this is one regardless of where we start).
I thought of a b6 I liked but now that I've figured out the h7 that seems great
Ok prob same wavelength as Ibds first post
I think I know the b5, but I do like h7 a bit better. Also think we should use the right side of the board while we can.
I don't know the b6 or alternate b5.
Ah i only know b6 n like it
But go for the h while we can
Ok we good to bold h7?
I am
Same
hammock
There’s always money in the (b6) banana stand
So hammock stand
Hammocks go between trees
Hammocks are net/mesh/rope
Hammocks are beds/cots/swings/chairs
You may have them with carabiners
Use them when camping or hiking
Budding showmances often start in them on Big Brother
Homer frequented his on The Simpsons
Apparently we need b5/hammock combo to get there; this isn’t a one shot round
So let’s ponder what b5 could be
I'm sorry. I need to pause or sub out... hopefully I can play again in a couple days. but my little bro passed away on Friday... can't really focus on anything else
That's terrible, filthy. Sorry for your loss. :(
Omg I’m so sorry filthy
