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.

fairy tale
Great get!
Yeah it was fairy
H6 was for Hansel and Gretel which feels more obviously fairy tale than the Beauties but unlocking t was critical in case
But you nailed it!
Round 13:
Cards used: 18
Guessers: d1/ervin
The Board:
T | A | UNKQ | C | S | M | IH
The target word:
I've pmed the word to ibd/bolt/zeus
NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 7 CARDS IN THE GAME
t6 should be a layup for d1
Well at least there's faith in me :p
lol; no slight on you intended there
Did I get skipped? I thought we always go twice in a row
I'm just happy you remembered I was in the game
Filthy got skipped and you woulda been with him
You can go solo next round if you want tho
H7 works also tho I think t7 better known
But if we would rather kill IH than T card then we could go that route
Tho whichever we do, next round the layup word will start with the card we used this round
There's an a9 thats a lock so I'd like to go down the left
I don’t think we’ll need a A9 (or A3, which is also a lock). M5 is also a lock if we’d need it after H7.
But I’m fine with either side card.
quick note that I think a9 is actually a8
and a5 is another a of course, but we won't need a8/a3/a5
Yes, it’s A8 not A9
And right, we won’t need any As. Or Ms imo, but I’m fine sticking with T6
lol yeah t6
I double checked that I didn't accidentally say any of the words again, but got the letter count wrong
let's wait for bolt to chime in and then we'll bold something by this afternoon
Let's go T6.
taipan
Ok ervin, feel free to bold snake when ready.
