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.

Oook I think I know it? Or know another s5 now?
My s7 better, like you would think of our word immediately
Or quick enough anyway
w/e, at this point I think any of them would hit
I approve bolding something(with high confidence on mine)
stamp
Mail?
A3 = air
B3 = box
S4 = send
S5 = snail
Not sure on the others. S8 could be shipping/shipment or something maybe.
mail seems so simple and stamp so obvious that I get worried
but all the words work so I think it is that straightforward
Let's bold it then?
Shoulda done mailbox, my bad
Better to show off by direct bink
Way to go!!
stamp is a great clue; and then all the other confirmers
not sure what a10 is tho
