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.

Oh yea I guess it technically would be
Look at you with the knowledge!
Maybe r4+a6 is the way to go?
Oh I never knew that or thought about it
Makes sense
I dunno what these are but if they're good fire away
if it's same r4 then I know that of course
not sure on the a6 yet
there is also a c9
maybe ibd comes in with a killer clue
otherwise I'm fine to clue the r4 to leave d1 or someone else to clue a6
I have one but not sure if it’s legal, so will pass.
I’m good with R4.
Let's bold r4?
roll
hmm
could be baked goods or movement- either a car or a somersault
Its not a one n done clue
I was thinking baked goods also. A6 could be almond?
Maybe it's bun?
Bun might be good- but- why almond? Or what would a be?
I also think C7 for currant would ne an obvious one?
I was thinking of a sticky bun. Could have almonds. But no C8 (cinammon) so probably not.
A isnt almond
Do you guys have bacon rolls?
Never heard of it. Want one.
Lmao
Theyre great
I think we start witg bread to see if were on the right track?
rye bread
They're on the right track...need something to hone it in for them
I still don't know the other ideas we have, I thought of a c6 that's kinda eh
There is a c6 that is amazing and 100% lock but I can’t give it since I clued roll
Hoping one of y’all knows it; it goes to the left of roll
The only C6 I know is probably not legal. Why not just go with whatever A6 is since that was the plan?
I don’t see a point in a anymore
Need to do c6; not illegal at all
Think about what this is…
How can I tell if it's the one I'm thinking? It seemed *fine* not crazy strong but maybe I'm underestimating it
