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.

Correct
And sugar b5 doesnt work
Grained is whars getting me cuz it really implies food
Or little things
Not clothes which is stitched or whatever
We should guess something and keep game going, not a big fan of sand
I keep coming back to the clothes idea, maybe something like cotton or some kind of plant?
Would coffee work? B5 could be beans
No Folgers so prob not, some kind of tea leaves maybe? Some random spice?
Dirt?
No that could be earth sigh
I wanna figure it out! I can think of all this stuff that it's not but not what it is!
Not something like seeds since no sunflower
Whatever if ur good w it let's just guess sand and hope
S4 could be trap, B5 the beach thing works, need to keep it moving
Bold if u agree DZ or I will in a little bit to keep this moving
beach wear
Maybe 75 percent?
I guess we bold s5 and move to the next game?
DZ wtf lol
B5 is their clue which we thought could be beach
We were supposed to bold Sand
yeah bold s5 so we can move to round 2
shore
Lol dz
I still want sand but I would like DZ to bold it just to see what happens(and make sure we're in agreement but that's secondary)
sand
S5 is as good as b5 for follow up too
Wish someone else knew f12 bc I think you’d agree
Y’all got there but I didn’t see yall mention this post by the clue giver
If you think b5 is beach and sand is the word then consider if there is an s5 that is like beach
T4 was time (sands of time, hourglass, etc) or trap (sand trap on golf course) or tide
Didn’t clue Egypt because there are 15 words that you’ll think of before sand; Sahara is pretty good as a follow-up but shore hits as well and matches the beach we all liked so wasn’t hinted at
but DZ coming in all Leeroy Jenkins with Beach Wear outta nowhere was fun
Round 3:
Cards used: 3
Guessers: ervin/ibd
The Board:
C | IH | UNKQ | DL | M | B | T
The target word:
I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, bolt, zeus
Whatever if ur good w it let's just guess sand and hope
S4 could be trap, B5 the beach thing works, need to keep it moving
👍
b9 and b3 are locks if we don't hit it with a T word
C11 seems pretty good.
