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.

♥ filthy, so sorry to hear that.
Wow filth, that's horrible so sorry to hear :(
My condolences, please message if you need to talk or anything. That's just awful, hope you're ok
Hang in there
bed: bunk is obvious one; headboard if wanna use H card
camping: backpacking, hiking, names of parks, etc.
chair: barstool, barcalounger, etc
coconut tree: first image of hammock is between 2 trees; b6s are banana/butter
swing: one of first things you may think of with BIH letters for swing is hammock, so it passes that test where everyone got h7 quickly; but no hint of t4 tire or b4 baby
nap/sleep/dream: can't think of b5/b6 words here
rope: b5 belay, b6 bungee is a stretch, bondage b7 wasn't hinted at; hemp rope also
think I'm just gonna guess swing to get a second clue
rope swing
Nich, you're a Sides savant.
wow nich! way to go!!
and thank you everyone for the well wishes. I really appreciate it. but def not trying to hijack the thread... this thread is for sides game
Goddamn Nich is good at this
Round 12:
Cards used: 17
Guessers: ibd/d1
The Board:
B | T | A | UNKQ | S | M | IH
The target word:
I've pmed the word to ervin/bolt/zeus
t10 is the lock clue, but we'd need to use B before that's open
h6 should also get it coming from it at a slightly different angle
capitalized b6 could also do it?
T10 for sure and I know that one, not sure what the others are yet
Btw my b6 for last round was boogie
Hmm i got a good i3 but no good m.
Good h9 too
yeah, good point
I think H6 is the most likely non-T one to one-shot it but b is almost as good and unlocks T
so prolly b6->t10 is the best line to take? safer than h since it unlocks t
Bolt any thoughts?
My current plan is b6 for decent shot that unlocks the lock t10 but open to other ideas
I'm not finding any aces with BIH. B6 seems best.
Beauty
So either Beauty and the Beast or Sleeping Beauty presumably. I know the basics of those movies, but haven't seen either of them. There's stuff like Disney/princess/curse that come to mind. If it's much deeper than that, then it's likely gonna go over my head.
Yeah, I’m trying to think of a good T10 that fits here and can’t place it. Beauty and the Beast is where I started, but Sleeping Beauty is a good catch.
Hmm, if it was to reference Beauty and the Beast I think Belle would’ve come up. So might be looking for a different Beauty (like Aurora/Sleeping Beauty). Nich said H6 could get it from a slightly different angle. DZ has a good I3, so my next post will probably be all the three-letter I words I can come up with via stream-of-consciousness.
Are there any fairies in either of those movies. If i3 is imp and t10 is Tinkerbell, that could maybe work?
Or I guess they are fairy tales anyway lol.
And yes in Sleeping Beauty there are three fairies who take care of Aurora.
Fairy seems pretty goddamned likely.
Probably just bold fairy tale, but pretty sure fairy is the target word. Great get with Tink, I never would’ve thought of that.
